Mushroom, courgette and tomato salad recipe

information

Preparation time: 15 minutes, Calories: 74 per portion

ingredients

6 large mushrooms, sliced
4 courgettes, thinly sliced
4 tomatoes, peeled and quartered
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 bunch of cress, trimmed and divided into sprigs
3 tablespoons light French dressing (below)

method

1. Combine the mushrooms, courgettes and tomatoes in a salad bowl and sprinkle with the basil.

2. Arrange the sprigs of cress round the edge of the salad. Serve with the light French dressing.

A combination of contrasting colours gives a salad visual appeal. Mushrooms, courgettes and tomatoes not only look good together, they also complement each other in taste. The salad could be bordered with watercress.

For the light french dressing

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon made English mustard

1. To make the dressing, put all the ingredients into a screw-topped jar and shake vigorously until blended.

2. Just before serving the salad spoon the dressing over and garnish with watercress.
