Total time: 10 minutes
Number of servings: 2
Necessary ingredients:
- 1 carrot
- 4 leaves of Chinese cabbage
- 1 cucumber
- 30 g spicy gorgonzola
- ½ box of Something Fine cream cheese with sour cream
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- Herb-flavored salt (to taste)
- Ground pepper (to taste)
- Fresh basil leaves
Step-by-step preparation:
1. Washing and preparing the vegetables
Start by thoroughly washing all the vegetables. It is essential to remove any impurities! Peel the carrot. You can use a vegetable peeler to get thin and uniform strips. If you like, you can also cut it into sticks or rounds, depending on your preferences.
2. Cutting the vegetables
After peeling, slice the carrot into thin slices. The Chinese cabbage can be cut into strips or large leaves, depending on how you prefer to serve it. The cucumber can be sliced into rounds or sticks. Combining textures will add visual and taste interest to your salad.
3. Assembling the salad
Arrange the cut vegetables on a large plate or in a bowl. Make sure you have an attractive arrangement, as the eyes eat first! Then add the pieces of spicy gorgonzola, which will bring a salty note and a deep flavor.
4. Adding the creamy ingredients
In a small bowl, mix the Something Fine cream cheese with a little pepper and herb-flavored salt. This creamy cheese will bind all the ingredients together and provide a pleasant texture. Spread the mixture evenly over the vegetables.
5. Finishing with spices
Sprinkle the freshly chopped basil on top. This will add a fresh aroma and a note of freshness to your salad. Finally, drizzle with peanut oil, which will bring a unique flavor and enrich the overall taste of the dish.
6. Serving
The salad is now ready to be enjoyed! It can be served as a light appetizer or as a main dish alongside a slice of toasted bread. Enjoy your meal!
Practical tips:
- Choosing vegetables: You can experiment with other vegetables depending on the season. Bell peppers, radishes, or even tomatoes add color and nutrients.
- Gorgonzola: If you prefer a less spicy cheese, you can opt for feta or mozzarella, which will make the dish lighter.
- Alternative oils: Instead of peanut oil, you can use olive oil or sesame oil for a different taste.
- Variations: You can add nuts or toasted seeds for extra texture and crunch.
Nutritional benefits:
This salad is rich in fiber due to the vegetables, and gorgonzola brings protein and calcium. Peanut oil contains healthy fats, providing a balanced energy intake.
Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I prepare the salad in advance?

2. How can I adapt the recipe for vegans?
You can replace the cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and gorgonzola with vegan cheese or avocado.
