Heavenly chopped salad

Salad is so much more than your nan’s lettuce, tomato and cucumber, with salad cream (though I do love salad cream). You can throw any number of salad’y bits and vegetables in and if you chop them finely you get a bit of everything in each mouthful and it’s tasty-as, especially with a great dressing.

I always remember watching the women on Sex and the City eating salad; shoving great big lettuce leaves in all at once, and talking at the same time. Dear oh me, not polite! This is a much better-mannered salad, not to mention a million times tastier.

Just crumble some cool feta cheese over this and you have a beautiful meal right there.

There’re a lot of nutrients hanging out here but I want to focus on the fibre. Eating fibre provides the good guys that hang out in the gut with tasty food; this helps them thrive, and by doing so it has a knock on effect right through the system. A healthy happy gut helps a healthy happy brain.
