Fantastic Salad - thanks Oprah!

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!
