Hello & happy Wednesday!

I think it’s fair to say, that during this month, most of us will be eating our body-weight in strawberries… If there is one thing that June is all about, then it has to be strawberries, right? So, today’s recipe is packed with these sweet and juicy, summery fruits!

Strawberry and mango salad

I’ve chosen this strawberry and mango salad recipe, because its super easy to make, and it’s a great, lighter option for lunch or dinner. Also, it’s a great way to enjoy the fresh strawberries, once you get bored of eating them on their own (and if baking is not your thing!). Served with simple, yet so flavoursome and refreshing ginger vinaigrette, it will make a beautiful, tasty and a healthy meal!

Super easy salad to make

The process of making this strawberry and mango salad is super simple and straightforward. You just mix all of the ingredients together, sprinkle some feta cheese (or vegan substitute), toasted almonds and drizzle it with ginger vinaigrette. That’s it friends. Nothing complicated about this recipe! The only thing that can go wrong is the toasted almonds. They do catch the heat very quickly, so keep an eye on them at all times, and shake the frying pan often, so they don’t stick to it.

Adding fruit to salads…

…may seem strange to some, but I love it! I think it’s a great way to add even more texture and interesting flavours to the salad, not to mention all the extra nutrients! Also, if you ask me, adding a handfull of berries or diced apple to the salad transforms otherwise ordinary bowl of greens into something that I can’t wait to dig into! They add that sweet-tart note to the dish, and just make it look so much more appealing!

What fruit goes well with salads?

Pretty much any fruit that is currently in season! So at the moment, it’s strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Further into the summer, when stone fruit is in season, peaches (check out this Peach Salad I’ve made last year), cherries and plums could be added. End of summer and befogging of autumn is a great time to use apples and pears. Fresh fruit in salads pairs up nicely with some toasted, crunchy nuts, so add a handfull of these too!

If you enjoy fresh produce, and like to spend as little time as it’s possible in your kitchen, especially during summer, then this strawberry and mango salad is definitely for you!

Also, if you are not a huge fan of ginger, this salad will pair very well with lemon and mint olive oil dressing from this recipe.

Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp flaked almonds
  • 300 g fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
  • 1 large mango

  • 1 large handful of fresh basil

  • #Ad I've never been too keen on going out on Valentine's but this year, with @waitroseandpartners ยฃ20 dinner for two, I have even more reasons to stay in ๐Ÿ˜
There are meat, vegetarian and vegan options available, and you get to choose a starter (we went for mushroom arancini), a main (beetroot wellingtons), two sides (seasoned Charlotte potatoes and salad), dessert and bottle of wine or box of chocolates (wine for us ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿท). True feast for you and your love ๐Ÿ’•
How will you be spending #ValentinesDay?

  • #Ad Whoโ€™s getting excited for the upcoming Pancake Day? I know I am ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿฅž
This year, I will be treating myself and my family to these utterly delicious stacks filled with irresistible chocolate spreads and fresh berries. They were all gone in seconds, last time Iโ€™ve made them, which is always a good sign, right? ๐Ÿ˜‰
First one is filled with the Malteasers spread with crispy honeycombed pieces (Jonโ€™s favourite) and the second one is the Crispy M&M chocolate hazelnut flavoured spread with coloured crispy balls (my fav). Which one would you choose?

  • My day in a nutshell (so far): got woken up at 3 AM by wheelie bins and bottles happily dancing in the wind outside. Went to see the dentists for the third time this week. Came back, shoot a client campaign. Stubbed my toe. Tried to send the campaign to the client, discovered thereโ€™s no internet. Spent the last couple of hours plugging and unplugging the router only to discover the whole village has been cut off... and the day is not over yet! 
Thank eff itโ€™s almost Friday! ๐Ÿ˜†
Howโ€™s your day been? .
