Trebuchet

Cheese Missiles



If Trebuchet font would be a flavor… Let's start with the history of the font:
Trebuchet was designed by Vincent Connare in 1996. The Trebuchet name was created after the metaphor heard at Microsoft "To build a Trebuchet (a form of medieval catapult) that fires ones messages across the Internet."

It is not surprising that we've decided to make a dish having the symbolic missiles of a catapult. In simpler terms - some food with balls :]. After long reflections about what kind of balls and what kind of recipe should be done, we chose the spring salad with cheese missiles.



















Ingredients:
Iceberg lettuce
Soft goat's milk cheese
Little tomatoes
Shelled pumpkin seeds

For the salad dressing:
Grainy mustard
Honey
Olive Oil
Vinegar or Lemon juice

Process:
Shape the soft cheese balls and roll them in the roasted, salted pumpkin seeds.

Salad dressing: Mix a tablespoon of honey, 2 tablespoons of grainy mustard, tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and add about one-third cup of olive oil. Stir all until smooth.

Sprinkle the dressing over the coarsely torned lettuce leaves and halved small tomatoes. Leave few tomatoes uncut – more balls will be in the plate! Put the cheese missiles between the tomatoes. Voila! Enjoy your Trebuchet!
