Charred Spring Onion Olive Rice Salad Recipes

Steps:

• If your barbecue hasn't already been heated, light and heat until the ashes turn grey, or heat a griddle pan. Wash the spring onions and pat dry. Trim off the ends, then place the onions directly on the barbecue or in a hot griddle pan.
• When the spring onions have softened and blackened, take off the heat and move to a hot spot on the barbecue top to keep warm before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place walnuts on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a kitchen towel and rub in towel to remove bitter outer skins. Lift nuts from towel, leaving skins behind, and set aside.
• Prepare a vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine honey, vinegar and 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Preheat a grill, and rub spring onions with 1 tablespoon oil. Quickly grill onions, about 1 minute a side. Cut onions into thirds, place in a small bowl, and coat with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette. Cover and set aside to cool.
• To serve, place baby greens in a serving bowl. Add walnuts, onions and remaining vinaigrette. Toss well. Use a vegetable peeler to shave shards of cheese over the salad. Serve immediately.
