This is the perfect gateway salad for anyone who claims they “don’t like salad.” It’s hearty, warm, and packed with so many bold, savoury flavours that it bears little resemblance to the sad, leafy side dishes they might be used to.
The key to its appeal is that it eats more like a full meal than a traditional salad. The substantial topping of crispy, spicy chorizo and creamy butter beans provides a satisfying, comforting element that will win over even the most ardent salad-skeptic.
The rich, creamy dressing is another major selling point. It’s flavourful and indulgent, a far cry from a sharp, acidic vinaigrette. Its mayonnaise-like texture coats every ingredient, ensuring there are no bland, undressed bites.
By challenging the conventional definition of a salad, this recipe offers something that can appeal to a much broader audience. It’s the perfect dish to serve to a reluctant salad-eater to show them just how delicious and satisfying a bowl of greens can be.
