Bazaar: Vibrant Vegetarian Recipes- Sabrina Ghayour. Nothing reminds me more of England than all the gorgeous berries and autumnal fruit that we produce in abundance. I like to combine Middle Eastern ingredients with Western produce if the flavours work, and this combination does exactly that – sweet but tart blackberries with creamy soft goats’ cheese balls dusted in my beloved herb mix, za’atar. This is now one of my favourite autumnal salads, and once you try it, you’ll see why.

Instructions

Step 1

First make the dressing. In a small bowl or using a pestle and mortar, bash 6 of the blackberries until puréed, then add the vinegar, olive oil and salt and mix well. Set aside.

Step 2

To prepare the salad, divide the goats’ cheese into 12 equal-sized cubes and roll them into smooth balls. Lightly dust with the za’atar blend and roll in your palms to ensure the za’atar sticks to the surface. Set the balls on a plate and refrigerate until needed.

Step 3

When you’re ready to serve, select a large, wide board or platter and spread the salad leaves across it. Arrange the beetroot quarters and the blackberries around the board or plate, then season with pepper and drizzle over the dressing. Lastly, dot with the goats’ cheese balls and serve immediately.
