Chorizo, Rocket & Red Onion Salad

This salad was delicious!!! I should have made more!!

*Taken from 'Super Food Ideas' magazine*

Ingredients
1/4 cup pine nuts
500g chorizo sausages, sliced
2 red onions, cut into thin wedges
1 tbs thyme leaves
100g baby rocket (I used baby rocket & baby spinach)
1 tbs balsamic vinegar

Method
Place pine nuts in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook, shaking pan, for 5 minutes or until light golden. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. Cook chorizo, in two batches, for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until light golden. Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.

Increase heat to medium-high. Add onion and thyme to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes or until onion begins to caramelise.

Add onion mixture, chorizo, rocket and vinegar to pine nuts. Season with salt and pepper. Toss until well combined. Spoon salad onto plates and serve.

Serves 4
