    1. Thanks Tim. Yes, prompted by the unseasonably warm weather we're having in the UK.

      Salads are a favourite of mine, yes it's delicious.

  1. That looks a very nice Spring salad that ticks all the right boxes for my current leaning towards healthy eating, apart from the weather.

    1. Thanks. Yes, this salad ticks the right boxes for me too. It's easy to make, it's healthy, and can be eaten any time of day.

      Sadly, I can't vouch for the weather though!
