Salads ideal in sun

AS SOON as the weather gets warmer my craving for summer salads begins. The vegetable garden and greenhouse are bursting with fresh ripe produce begging to be harvested.

Salads ideal in sun

We’ve had lots of broad beans, my absolutely favourite summer vegetable. The fresh peas never made it into the kitchen, we ate them all off the plants. The globe artichokes have now gone past their best for eating, but the ones that survived my greed are now bursting into flower, resembling giant blue and purple thistles.

Even though we have tempting recipes for every season, summer is definitely the best time for salads - both vegetables and fruit are bursting with sunny flavour.
