My Quick & Easy Side Salad

Sometimes you just need to whip up a quick salad to go with your leftovers or something you’ve ordered in… Here’s my go-to salad:

Ingredients

  • 3-4 Fresh tomatoes
  • Half can sweetcorn, drained
  • A few slices red onion
  • Handful green olives
  • Half a lime
  • Dash of olive oil
  • Chopped fresh coriander
  • Black pepper

Method

  • Chop the tomatoes, onion and combine in a bowl with sweetcorn and halved olives
  • Add squeezed lime juice and olive oil to the ingredients
  • Add black pepper and fresh coriander
  • Give a quick stir and enjoy!

It’s that simple. I often enjoy this with a homemade chilli con carne or Piri Piri chicken.

I keep my fresh herbs in the freezer so I have them to hand at any time and they don’t spoil.

Make it even better with slices of avocado and/or some rocket!

OH YEAH

You can swap the mayo for virgin olive oil if you prefer.

Red cabbage makes a nice alternative.

Chilli flakes or a bit of cayenne pepper can add a bit of heat.

Beware, you will have garlic-onion breath!

Also, the cabbage may give you gas, so feel free to omit.
