A Something Summery Salad.




Ingredients

Mixed Leaves
1 x Carrot
1/2 x Pepper
5 x Cherry Tomatoes
Salt
1/2 x Red Pepper
Olive oil
 1x Lemon



Method

You can grab a bag of mixed leaves from any supermarket, they're great for salads like this or throwing into a sandwich or a wrap.

Start by taking two generous handfuls of leaves and washing them under some cold water. Shake off the remaining water droplets and place the leaves in a bowl. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze a small amount of the juice over the leaves.

Peel the carrot and chop off either end. Grate the whole carrot into the bowl. Select 5 plump cherry tomatoes or two large ones and slice them up into small pieces and scatter over the salad. Take your half a pepper and slice into tiny pieces and throw into the bowl.

Take a small jug and add a few drops of water, followed by two teaspoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Squeeze out the juice of the remaining half a lemon and then grate some zest into the mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything is well mixed and then pour generously over the salad.

Bonus tip

If you have any fresh chillies or ginger, slice or grate over the salad for an extra kick.
