This is what could be regarded as a standard Mediterranean style salad, but with a tasty twist.

Mediterranean Wasabi Salad

Ingredients:

• 3 cups organic cherry tomatoes, washed and cut in half
• 3 fresh apricots, washed, pitted and quartered
• 1 small red onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• green olives – small “Koroneiki” variety (but any type of olive will be just as great too)
• 1 tsp Namida Wasabi Powder
• 1 tsp cold water
• juice of 1 fresh lemon
• 1 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar
• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• sea salt

Method:

1. Mix the Namida Wasabi Powder with the cold water to a smooth paste, cover and put aside for 5 minutes. See the video here.

3. Whisk in the Namida Wasabi paste into the vinaigrette.
4. In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes, apricots and onions.
5. Add the vinaigrette. Stir well.
6. Serve the salad and top with some crumbled feta cheese and olives.
