Summer salad ideas

Salads are a refreshing way to get your five plus a day, especially in summer. However the usual lettuce and tomato salad can get a little boring.  Here’s some of my favourite ideas for delicious, fresh summer salads.

• Lettuce, walnut, pear and a sprinkle of blue cheese
• Whole baby beetroot, feta cheese, pear slices and sunflower seeds
• Cherry tomatoes, halved; cucumber slices, black olives and feta cheese
• Fresh mango slices, red onion, tomato, and rocket
• Roast carrot, avocado, rocket, red onion and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds
