Light lunch at Il Mercato

A plate of tender veg with those yummy, smokey char grilled marks were drizzled with a sweet Balsamic vinaigrette.  The ‘cherry on top’, or in this case, the cheese, was a healthy portion of goat cheese.  The simple flavours and varied textures combined together to create lots of interest in this plate of greens;  smokey, sweet and tangy, combined with fresh, soft and crunchy – these were the elements that kept my palate entertained until the very last bite.  

Sometimes the salad doesn’t have to be the starter, if you’re lucky, you can find a good one that has all the action as the main event.
