I’m a big fan of salads; it’s the colour, the crunch, the tang, the oily juices they create, just begging to be mopped up with bread, that have me constantly hungering for more ways to throw leaves, herbs, vegetables and edible flowers together.

Warm, warmish, at room temperature or chilled, salads should be the mainstay of our diet.
