Inspired, as always, by the food we eat on holiday, we've come back from Spain intending to eat lovely healthy "jazzy" salads like we eat on hols.
So, in a spirit of health and freshness, we found this recipe on line and I had a go at making it this lunchtime, to serve with turkey fillet and a pea/mint dip and crudites.

It was delicious - although I edited the recipe a little bit...as I have no idea what heirloom tomatoes are so I bought some little yellow ones and a big red one! I used bog standard white wine vinegar. Don't really like tarragon so swapped it out for spring onions, and found a peach in the fridge which needed using up so chopped that in with the rest. Oh and I don't have 'fruity olive oil' so added half a teaspoon of apricot jam to the dressing mix.
Here's how it turned out...
And with the turkey, it makes a colourful plate-load!
Some turkey bits and the veg, ready for the pea and mint dip
...which has come out a bit of a funny colour but which was really nice and green!
