grape, ricotta and tarragon salad

starter | serves Serves 4
Season the sliced shallots with salt and pepper, add the sugar and the vinegar and leave to marinate for a few minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the tarragon and grapes and grate in most of the cheese. Drain the pickled onions and throw them in with a little of the vinegary juices, salt and pepper and a glug of olive oil. Toss everything together and divide between four plates. Grate the rest of the cheese on top of each salad and serve. Check out the video here.

2. Charlene Thomas Wed 09 Jul 2008 @ 20:51 This is a fabulous salad. It's not often that I have a big bunch of tarragon hanging around but, once a year, our local organic farm provides me with more tarragon than one can reasonably use. When I stumbled on this recipe, I was pretty sure I had found heaven. I've been using a salty French sheep milk cheese with great result.

Now if I could only find a fabulous salad recipe for my big bunch of oregano...
