Pizza express inspired warm salad

I only discovered the warm salads at pizza express a few months ago, and now they've become my usual order.

I've been trying out warm salad recipes at home and would like to share my favourite...




 You will need:
  • salad leaves
  • sun-dried tomatoes
  • red onion, chopped
  • peppers- chopped
  • asparagus- chopped
  • mushrooms- chopped
  • avocado
  • mozzarella
  • salt
  • olive oil
  • clove of garlic
  • +/- roast chicken
 For the dressing:
  • olive oil
  • coarse mustard
  • balsamic vinegar
  • sugar
  • salt and pepper
  1. Fry a drizzle of olive oil, salt and red onion in a pan until soft
  2. Add mushrooms, peppers, asparagus and crushed garlic and cook 
  3. In a large bowl place leaves of choice, torn pieces of mozzarella, a few sun-dried tomatoes and chunks of avocado
  4. To this bowl add the warm ingredients
  5. In a cup, mix 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of coarse mustard, pinch of salt and pepper- check and alter quantities as needed to taste
  6. pour dressing over salad and toss to mix
  7. place strips of roast chicken on top if desired
I have been serving this with warm garlic bread... lovely!
