by Colne Life magazine
Whether you're hosting a spooky soiree or just looking to add a touch of macabre elegance to your dining table, the Spooky Salad Platter is sure to cast a spell on your taste buds.
Makes 1 large sharing salad Prep time: 20mins Cook time: 20 mins
Ingredients
- 40g Watercress
- ½ small Pumpkin, sliced
- 2 Apples, peeled, cored & sliced
- 100g Blackberries, halved
- 100g red cabbage, shredded
Top tip: A set of small Halloween cookie cutters will save you time when making the pumpkin and ghost shapes.
Method
- If you have Halloween cookie cutters, now might be the time to dust them off! If not, cut the pumpkin slices into pumpkin shapes with a sharp knife. If you have a small enough tip, you can cut faces in to the pumpkin, but it will work just as well without!
- Repeat this step for the apples, cutting ghosts and ghouls from the slices.
- Bake the pumpkin in a preheated oven at 180° for around 20 minutes
- Layer all the ingredients together on a platter – you’re now party ready!
To accompany the salad, try Roasted Cauliflower Brain with Green Slime Hummus and Dead Man’s Finger Sandwiches.
