METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 135˚C.

3. To make the nut brittle, add walnuts and sunflower seeds to a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together maple syrup, olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour over nuts and toss well to coat. Spread into an even layer on a small parchment paper lined baking sheet.
4. Bake on the lowest rack of the oven for about 35 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through baking. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Once cooled, break apart into bite sized pieces.
5. While the brittle is cooling, whisk together dressing of white wine vinegar and chopped mint and pepper and sliced fruit.
6. Toss cooked rice with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and set aside.
7. Toss mixed leaves with dressing. Add the rice and toss well. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Add in stone fruit, feta and brittle. Enjoy!
