Ingredients

2 apricots ripe, stoned
20 g lamb's lettuce thoroughly washed
1 apple cored
5 oz water

Garnish: None · Ice: Served up, no ice

Method

Wash the lamb's lettuce very thoroughly, as sand often hides between the leaves.
Wash, stone and roughly chop the apricots.
Wash, core and quarter the apple.
Blend everything with the water for about 45 seconds until smooth and pour into a glass.

Taste

Fruity and fresh with a mild, nutty green note; light and smooth.

About this smoothie

Lamb's lettuce, also known as corn salad, is a tender winter and spring salad with small, soft leaves and a mild, nutty flavour, which makes it a good alternative to spinach in green smoothies. Apricots bring sweetness and a light acidity, the apple adds juiciness and body. With water as the base, the smoothie is light and fresh. It suits a morning start or a small afternoon snack.

Bartender tips

Swirl the lamb's lettuce in a bowl of water several times and lift it out, rather than pouring it into a sieve with the sand.
Out of apricot season, use a ripe nectarine instead.
