This Little Pig loves salad season. So many varieties and so many hot summers nights that scream, “lets have a salad piglets!!” This fine swine particularly loves creamy avocados, zingy summer fruits and smooth fettas to take a salad to a whole new level. The salad in question today is one that This Little Pig likes to take to dinner parties when asked to bring a dish. No one else has ever turned up with the same salad as This Little Pig and somehow the strawberries and haloumi make this salad look thoughtful and glamorous, whilst in actual fact this lazy swine didn’t try that hard that all.
So pluck some strawberries from the veggie patch and give this fresh, zingy number a try and remember, for the grazing herbivores out there, you can skip the Parma ham to make this a veggie feast.
