Mushroom and Pine Nut Salad - 39 pro points (10 points per serve)



Just had this for lunch (serves 4 as a light meal):

2 rashers of bacon sliced (2 pro points)
1 tablespoon oil (4 pro points)
1 tablespoon butter (3 pro points)
250gm mushrooms sliced
400gm can chickpeas drained and rinsed (9 pro points)
1/2 cup pine nuts (16 pro points)
1 clove garlic peeled and chopped

dressing:
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon oil (4 pro points)
1 teaspoon grainy mustard
1 teaspoon runny honey (1 pro points)
salt and pepper

Salad leaves of your choice - lettuce, spinach, endive, etc.

Cook the sliced bacon in the oil until crispy. Remove and set set aside.

Add butter to pan and toss in remaining ingredients. Cook for 5-6 minutes until pine nuts are golden. Then add reserved bacon. (Optional - add chopped parsley and chives)

Mix dressing (shake in a jar).

Arrange lettuce on plate and spoon over mushroom and pine nut mix. Sprinkle over dressing and serve.
