 Dinner for 2

Cheese, Nuts and Beet and Daikon Salsa
  Warm Salmon and Grapefruit Salad with Asparagus
Triple Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Bourbon Ice Cream

 Just my husband and I tonight.  To start I have some cheese and nuts and some beet and daikon salsa made from Vij's Elegant and Inspired Indian Cuisine cookbook.  

I have just picked up a large box of grapefruit from a fundraiser for my nephew's rugby team.  I have a couple of favourite ways to use grapefruit.  One is for breakfast, broiled with honey vanilla and cardamon and the other is in this warm salad with salmon and snow peas.


I have been making this for a few years, starting in Australia using this recipe.  I stick mostly to the recipe but it depends what I can find fresh.  This time I used snow pea sprouts instead of tendrils.  I have also used watercress, extra snow peas, and even rocket (arugula).  It is a lovely refreshing and light dinner or lunch.


The triple chocolate brownie is from Chef Micheal Smith.  These brownies are so decadent I rarely make them but when I do they never last long.  I topped them off with President's Choice Black Label Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Ice Cream.  A light dinner ending with a rich decadent dessert.  Good for a quiet night during the Christmas season.
