Amazing basil, cheese and walnut salad
The word salad sounds so boring doesn’t it? But salad is just a base for other gorgeous accompaniments.
This one has so much flavour and the walnuts give a lovely crunch.
The first time I made it I had to remake it and eat another one just to be sure!

Ingredients
- half teacup of sweetcorn and half of edamame beans or peas. I used frozen, microwaved. Birds Eye do frozen soya beans which are tre same thing.
- large handful of fresh large basil
- sliced ripe tomatoes
- cucumber – cut on the diagonal in thick chunks then sliced into thick strips (this is SO important…)
- 40g of grated extra mature cheddar. Press it lightly into clumps. It makes it nicer than blocks of cheese.
- 1-2 tbsps of olive oil
- handful of walnut halves
- white balsamic vinegar
- sea salt and black pepper

Nutrition Info
Cheese
Cheese is not only gorgeous to eat but provides some important nutrients including phosphorus, calcium and vitamin B12. Phosphorus forms part of every one of our cells, so is pretty important! It’s actually quite abundant in the diet so you don’t have to OD on cheese – sorry 🙂
Calcium is not only good for teeth and bones but helps to balance the PH of the blood as well as assisting with nerve signals and muscle function. B12 performs a lot of functions but its main claim to fame is red blood cell production.
