Quick and easy salads

Just before the weekend I felt a bit warmer when out walking the dog, so I turned my mind to what to serve at lunch time for my bread course at Belfast Cookery School. Soups are a winter favourite but I wanted to encourage the seasons on the spring and summer so what better than a salad. So after a tutorial in Belfast on Saturday I walked down to St Georges market to see what would inspire me. Wandering around I spotted some fantastic little red cabbages and korabi so coleslaw popped into my head a nice french dressing apple, mint, celery and a fennel bulb. The mint I grow myself in a few pots in the garden, the next veg to appeal to me was celeriac which make a very good remoulade. So two great salads to go with bread for a relaxed lunch.

A bright tasty coleslaw just grate the veg and add a nice french dressing and mint to garnish.

Celeriac remoulade made easy first mix a good mayo with mustard and lemon juice mix together taste and season prepare celeriac grate it and stir in mayo mix until all is coated.
