Chorizo red onion salad


This is a simple and delicious Spanish inspired salad. The smoky flavours of the chorizo and the sweetness of the red onion make for light summer meal that is ready in minutes.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of olive oil or salad dressing
1 tube chorizo sausage
1 red onion
1 bag rocket leaves
Preparation
Open uo the rocket bag into a sallad bowl and toss with the olive oil or dressing
Slice the chorizo sideways into thick slices, and chop the onions thinly in half moons

Fry the chorizo slices in a large frying pan over a high heat on both sides until sizzling, crispy and red and red oil drains out of them




Remove the chorizo from the pan and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before putting the adding them to the salad bowl
Then fry the onions in the chorizo oil left in the frying pan until they are soft.

Add the onions to the salad bowl and mix together

Can be eaten as a meal on its own, but here I used it as a side dish to a steak
