A few months I read a book called Veg by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. It was a very interesting book and it has inspired me to make more salads. My husband Howard calls me a rabbit as I eat a lot of it. As summer is on the way I felt it was time for a sumptuous salad. Since reading this book I’ve learned you can make tasty dishes with very few ingredients. Of course I had to share my findings with you.
What’s the most usual salad you’ve eaten? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like and follow me.

Green Beans and Pea Salad was a delicious way to enjoy these salads. It was a very easy to prepare and cook. It would be a great salad to cook and eat then store in the fridge overnight. The salad could be eaten with burgers, steak, chicken or even fish as well. I enjoy cooking quinoa and rice to enjoy with the salad as well. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
