A meal in a salad

A meal in a salad

Make salads the Star of the meal!

I love making layered salads – tonight’s began with a layer of cos lettuce, with:

  •     strips of courgette (tossed with herbs de Provence and flour and pan fried in olive oil til just browned).
  •     sweet snow peas, steamed until just tender.
  •     mixed cherry tomatoes.
  •     grilled Haloumi cheese.
  •     Kalamata olives.
  •     shredded basil.

I served this with red potatoes, steamed until tender and pan fried in olive oil until crisp, tossed with chives, parsley and sea salt.
All served with a side dressing of mayonnaise, yoghurt, freshly grated turmeric, chopped fresh mint, ground dried garlic, curry powder, salt and chilli flakes.
Most delicious.
