    I like something ‘pickled’ (or at least vinegary) in a salad - beetroot, cabbage, mini peppers etc. I also like baby leaves, particularly the more tasty and tangy ones like rocket, watercress and spinach. Oo and olives. 
    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    Toast/dry fry the quinoa before using it for salad … vastly improves the flavour. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Good idea Dove - never thought of that.
    I'll do that next time I make one.

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    I've made that quinoa salad before, but I prefer it as tabouleh using cous cous and leaving out the chick peas.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
  • I make my Tabouleh with Bulgar wheat and a dressing of Olive oil, Lemon juice, garlic, mint, parsley, tomatos and cucumber.  Often have it with poached chicken and avocado.

    Pointed cabbage cut very fine (can use any white cabbage as well) Grated apple, toasted chopped almonds and flax seeds. dressed with a little plain white vinegar and golden syrup.
    Really good you won't notice the vinegar or syrup they just stop everything going brown and soften the cabbage a bit.
