Midsummer Super Salad

Salad has never been my favourite dish, but when someone gave me a giant frilly lettuce I decided to make a giant frilly salad. This creation contains a multitude of tasty salad ingredients, olives, avocado and rocket, dressed in my allotment favs oregano and chive. I added couscous for a boost of protein and selenium. It’s surprising how quickly the bowl fills up, but it will keep overnight in the fridge if you make too much.

Summer Salad (8* plant points)

Designed to be calcium rich this salad draws on all its ingredients to provide a healthy kick. Offering 270mg of calcium, this is more than a third of your RDA – not bad for a salad! Using the last of the winter lettuce (I know, I know, it’s supposed to be a summer salad) the dish takes on the freshness of the oregano combined with the earthy nuttiness of a tahini yoghurt dressing. Not for the faint hearted, this is one mean salad.
