Ingredients
Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C.
- Cut the onions in half lengthways and roast them in the oven until just soft. Allow to cool, then push out the middle pieces to create 12 ‘petals’.
- For the basil purée, blend 470g of basil leaves and 180ml of Knorr Greek Vinaigrette Salad Dressing in a blender on high speed until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, cucumber, the remaining basil leaves and 15ml of Knorr Greek Vinaigrette Salad Dressing.
- Brush four plates with the basil purée. Arrange the salad over the basil purée, sprinkle the crumbled feta on top, and balance the onion petals on top of the salad.
- Carefully fill each onion petal with a teaspoon of Knorr Greek Vinaigrette Salad Dressing and serve immediately.
