Mad on salads!

P1020584

I just really like salads – and like experimenting to find strange combinations of fruit and vegetables which work together. You can’t see, but lurking here are some lovely new broad beans, just cooked for a few minutes in salted water; they are absolutely my favourite bean. There are mixed leaves, sliced onion, a few baby tomatoes, raspberries (my new discovery as a salad ingredient) some finely sliced cabbage, and my new favourite dressing of yoghurt and mustard – and because it is diet day today, no olive oil! I used American mustard – I’m experimenting with different sorts and so far they are all nice in the dressing, and seem to suit different salads. The courgettes on top (zucchini) are just very thinly sliced long ways with a few very finely sliced rings of a huge spring onion pushed in between, and dressed with white balsamic vinegar, a little pomegranate syrup, pepper and sea salt.

That was my diet day lunch… now what’s for dinner?!

        Thank you Dina, I hope you do too – it’s pouring down with rain here, so I think we shall just go to the village fruit and vegetable show which is on in the village hall!
