This salad would make an exciting addition to your Christmas table!
Verjuice is made from the juice of unfermented grapes the Sangiovese version is a slightly sweeter version of the classic and adds both a delicate aroma and slight sweetness to this salad. Maggie Beer does an excellent version of this and it can be found in most gourmet food delis. As a replacement I suggest either 2 tablespoons of either lemon juice or a dry white wine with 1/4 teaspoon of honey for the sweetness needed in this recipe.

Ingredients
- For the salad…
- 500 grams fresh asparagus, chopped into thirds and chargrilled and cooled
- 150 grams mixed lettuce leaves
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 150 grams Brie, cut into small rectangles
- For the dressing…
- 1/4 cup cranberries
- 1/4 cup roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons Sangiovese verjuice*
Directions
- Step 1 In a large mixing bowl add all the the salad ingredients except 1/2 of the Brie, season to taste and toss gently.
- Step 2 Add all the dressing ingredients in your small food processor and blitz until well combined, if the dressing is too thick add some water to loosen (approximately 2-3 tablespoons).
- Step 3 Add half of the dressing to your salad and toss gently. Taste and adjusts seasonings according to your taste. This is a thick dressing and is just meant to coat the salad ingredients so resist the urge of drowning the salad with the dressing.
- Step 4 Arrange the salad in a shallow salad bowl, arrange ten Brie over the salad and scatter the dried cranberries and roasted hazelnuts on top to garnish.
