This dish is so EASY to make and the colour and flavours will give you a real lift! I added a few extras to my dish and you can too, using whatever you have in the larder.

I cooked a few ready to eat apricots in a little honey and butter and sprinkled these, together with some black olives over the finished dish.

Dandelion leaves are good now if you pick the baby ones and they really add a seasonal flavour to a spring salad. I mixed up a dressing with oil, vinegar, honey and Sumac seeds.
