A little while ago, I got a very enthusiastic Tweet from Jacqui Smith of Homesmiths Interior Design Services. Homesmiths are based in Sussex and are a dynamic husband and wife team who bring to their clients a blend of sound technical ability and creative flair. Jacqui and her husband David are based in Haywards Heath, very close to our old family home of Nymans, where our story began...
In her Tweet, Jacqui took time off from her busy day with fabrics and furniture to share one of her kitchen tips; she mentioned what a great addition our Strawberry & Mint is to one of her favourite recipes. Fortunately, she has decided to share her discovery with us all, so here is her recipe for you, too.
Butternut Squash Salad with
Womersley Strawberry & Mint Vinegar Dressing
Serves 2 Ingredients
Half a Butternut Squash
Olive Oil
2 large peeled Garlic Cloves
1 Pack feta cheese, cubed
Handful of almonds, blanched and toasted
Fresh Garden Mint & salad leaves
- Roast the squash with the Olive Oil and garlic
- Assemble the salad leaves, roasted squash, cubed feta and almonds in your bowl
- Mix pureed garlic from the roasted cloves with olive oil and seasoning. Drizzle over the salad
- Dress with Womersley Strawberry & Mint vinegar dressing
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh Garden Mint
Jacqui says of using our vinegar in this dish:
"The mint from the vinegar adds depth to the fresh mint and the fruitiness of the strawberry just seems to complement the tang of the feta. More generally, I find that the vinegars are complex enough to use on their own as a dressing, which I do regularly!"
