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. Below is a video and recipe for you.

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
