?"Saturn Peach and Onion Ring Salad."?
Ingredients:
- 2 Saturn peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 large onion, sliced into rings
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Dip each onion ring in the buttermilk, then coat it in the flour mixture.
Dip the onion ring in the buttermilk again, then coat it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs firmly onto the onion ring.
Place the onion rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake the onion rings in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced Saturn peaches, mixed greens, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh mint.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey.
Drizzle the balsamic and honey mixture over the salad and toss to combine.
Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the salad topped with the crispy onion rings.
I have invented this recipe when I was running as Chef at "The Lunar Garden," a restaurant located in the Ursa Major constellation. The inhabitants of Ursa Major love their food to be fresh and flavorful, so I created this Saturn peach and onion ring salad to showcase the natural sweetness of the peaches and the crunchiness of the onion rings, complemented by the tanginess of the balsamic and honey dressing.
