Method

01
Chop all the salad ingredients and place in a salad bowl or other bowl; I have given some flex in the ingredients as you should really just go with what you feel – I like it quite minty and without too much onion. Make the dressing by adding a bit of warm water to dissolve the sugar in, then add the cider vinegar to this. Adjust until you are happy with the sweetness – basically it’s sweet and sour, so not too sweet and not too sour. Chuck in the dressing and mix well.
02
You can serve it not only with Yorkshire pudding, but with other salads, or it goes really well with fish, especially smoked fish.
