Wendy's Olive Wood Smoked & Sicilian Lemon Salad

Wendy's Olive Wood Smoked & Sicilian Lemon Salad

Featuring our Olive Wood Smoked Olive Oil & Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic this easy salad is satisfying and healthy!   We added hardboiled egg for some extra protein but it's just as good with out it.  Also great with chicken or tofu!  Ingredient quantities vary depending on the size of the salad but always mix Olive Oil and Balsamic 1:1 for a perfect dressing.

Honey-Ginger Sesame Slaw

Honey-Ginger Sesame Slaw

So easy, so healthy, soooo good! 

Ingredients:

1/2 a head of cabbage-shredded & 2 carrots-grated (or 1 bag pre-cut coleslaw, kale slaw or broccoli slaw)

4 tbsp NOOC Japanese Toasted Sesame Oil

4 tbsp NOOC Honey-Ginger White Balsamic

2-4 tbsp Mayo or Plain yogurt (totally optional!)

Freshly ground pepper

 

Directions

Stir everything but the coleslaw in a mixing bowl with a fork until it begins to emulsify (blend). Add the slaw, toss, let sit for 10 minutes or longer. Toss again and serve. That’s it!

If you like some heat add 1 tbsp of NOOC Baklouti Green Chile Olive Oil.  Or try it NOOC Persian Lime or Blood Orange Olive Oil instead of the Toasted Sesame Oil

Best Caesar Salad - Ever!

Best Caesar Salad - Ever!

Seriously, it's the best.  And the beautiful thing is that you can simply just use this combination of 4 NOOC oils and vinegars for a super easy, dairy-free and vegan Caesar dressing.  I just can't help myself from indulging in all the other "bad" stuff 'cause it's just sooooo good (and because apparently I like to do stuff the hard way LOL).  Either way, you've just made your Caesar dressing next level and way healthier than the creamy and preservative filled store-bought alternatives!  Feel free to substitute real lemon juice for 1/2 the Sicilian Lemon Balsamic if you like it less sweet and more tart.

Ingredients

¼ c (60ml) NOOC Eureka Lemon Fused Olive Oil
¼ c (60ml) NOOC Garlic Olive Oil
¼ c (60ml) NOOC Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar
¼ c (60ml) NOOC Neapolitan Herb Dark Balsamic
1-2 cloves garlic (optional-the Garlic Olive Oil is enough if you just want a mild garlic flavour)
1/4 c finely grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 inch of anchovy paste or one anchovy (a tsp of capers is a good vegetarian substitute)
1 egg (I use raw but you can coddle it if you prefer, or no egg at all!)
2 strips crispy bacon, cut small or to your preferred size

 

Directions

Put all ingredients in a blender or bullet, blend thoroughly.  Toss with romaine, bacon bits, grated parmesan, croutons and appox. 1 tsp of dressing per person (go lighter at first, you will be surprised how far it goes once you toss it!  You can always add more.
 

Assembling the salad:

In a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce washed, dried and chopped into bite-size pieces (1 big handful per person), bacon bits, a handful of finely grated parmesan cheese, croutons. and about 1 tbsp dressing per person (give or take, depending on your taste)

"Great experience. Thought I was just getting olive oil. We tried so many pairings, we had to stop to be able to decide on what we wanted. All combinations were good. The advice was good as well. We were told to think about how and what we cooked before deciding on what we wanted. This helped us to choose what we would cook with, instead of buying based on the taste. They all tased good!"

"Wandered in here on a whim and was blown away! I absolutely love olive oil and have visited some great places in growing regions in Argentina/Spain etc., but this is by far some of the best tasting flavour combinations I've ever had - not what I was expecting to find on a visit to Canada.
Highly recommend :)

I love shopping at the Nelson Olive Oil Co. Michelle and her team are there to help you find the right oil or vinegar to suit your needs. Always excellent friendly service, very fast and efficient. I refer friends and family at every opportunity. I highly recommend checking them out if you haven’t already.
