Ideas for salad with baked camembert?

8 replies

Hi

I'm having friends round for dinner this week - there will be six of us. Want to do something fairly simple as this will be just post-work for all of us.
I was going to do the Jamie Oliver doughballs with baked camembert (the Christmas tree one) and bits like olives/salami/ham.
Any ideas for what kind of salad (not just green salad - not a fan of plain) I could serve with this?

And does this sound like enough? There'll be a chocolate torte for after but am now concerned the camembert and bread are more of a starter and I should do more of a main.

I’m not a cheese fan so wouldn’t be my idea of fun but if your guests are cheese lovers then it’s fab - especially as you are serving salami, ham etc too
I’m a big fan of Ottolenghi salads - this one in particular [[

Base of Baby spinach leaves with roast butternut squash or sweet potato, roast chestnuts, bacon, dried cranberries and pecans. Possibly a blue cheese dressing.

Google Jamie Oliver salads there are lots hot and cold. You could adapt them to omit the cheese/meat if you want to.

Green salad with walnuts and apples is lovely with Camembert. It's our local cheese!

Something with apple in will go nicely.

I was going to say green, but you don't just have to have leaves.
Apple, olives, cucumber, artichokes all work well with leaves and then dress lightly with lemon oil.

Yes yes to apples and walnut. Grate in some (not pickled) beetroot and crumble a little goats cheese over it.

Make a dressing of oil, honey, lemon juice and salt and pepper.
