Summery salads for every occasion.
Have you ever tried anything more refreshing than a salad? When you need a light dish which is also full of flavour and colour, a salad always does the job. They are packed with the best of summer: peas, tomatoes, cucumber... and they really are quick to prepare. You can try a quick Pea Salad with Smoked Salmon, or a savoury Cajun Pea and Potato Salad with Spring Onion Dressing. As you can see, salad is a lot more besides lettuce!Summer food you can enjoy right out of your hands.
The less you have to clean up after a summer dinner the better, even more so if you have a lot of people around for dinner! As a starter, dips are always the perfect appetiser. You can welcome your friends with this Green Pea Hummus. Both are way more tasty and exciting than the standard nacho cheese dip you may usually buy from the supermarket. And if you want to surprise them, make this Pea Veggie Burger with mint leaves. Once they try it, they’ll never say that veggie food is dull again.
