Another salad I don’t think you can heat is a good Greek salad . Best olives and feta you can get . I also used to do a watercress , orange and olive salad but can’t remember the dressing think it was quite mustardy

It is time I made the resolution, yet again, to pic a book every week and cook one or two new (to me) things from it.

So, put some rinsed and drained fine bulgar in the bottom of a (preferably glass) bowl. Put on a layer of finely diced tomatoes with all their juice an a pinch of salt. The tomato layer should be about 3 or 4 times the thickness of the wheat layer. Leave for a couple of hours by which time the two layers will be roughly the same thickness, as the tomato juice will have softened the wheat, which also firms the tomato dice. add a layer the same thickness of chopped flat leaf parsley (and mint , optional) and optionally a scattering of finely diced onion. Dress with olive oil, lemon and a little more salt if needed, mix well, and serve.

I made a tabbouleh for last night's meal with lots and lots of fresh mint and parsley, tomatoes from the garden and a mixture of both lime and lemon juices.

I have just been googling succotash recipes. Some seem to be simply sweetcorn, beans and cream. That's not quite what I had in mind.
I have one large courgette, 2 small cucumbers and a handful of cherry tomatoes from the garden. Perhaps I should make them the focus of whatever I make tonight. Not feeling inspired though.
