P1070411 P1070413A SALAD?! WHAT IS GOING ON?! It shocked me just as much when I decided a salad is what I wanted to eat for dinner. There's halloumi in it though so its fine. And this isn't one of your "diet" salads, it fills you right up! Especially if your portion sizes are anything like mine. I was pretty keen to post this recipe for two reasons: 1) I would get to utilise the white table in my room along with the ridiculous amount of natural light I get and b) I made this salad for paying customers at my new job! Well it wasn't exactly the same as I had access to ALL the ingredients, but it was similar!

Remember when I went to Glastonbury and I said it was the best festival ever. I may have to retract my statement. I went to Green Man Festival last weekend and my opinion has changed. It was magical. The best festival I have been to hands down. It was so super chilled out. I can only describe it in short sentences. In fact my words will not do it justice at all! It had the same sort of happy atmosphere as Glastonbury but on a much smaller scale. No having to rush from one tent to another because they were all so close. No big crowds to push your way through. And the weather! We were so darn lucky. It was forecast to rain everyday but all we got was a few little drizzles. It was glorious! I am currently listening to Tom Ravenscroft radio show live from Green Man on 6music and a woman on it just said "It's a dream". I couldn't've said it better myself!

Before we get started I need to apologise for the lack of food photos. It's always tricky making stuff for dinner that I want to feature on the blog 'cause chances are people want to eat it as soon as it's made which limits photo taking opportunities. Also the filling turned out a bit runnier than expected because I added some unnecessary water, which resulted in, what was in my opinion, an ugly pie. Don't worry I have tweaked the recipe so you won't end up with a sloppy pie like mine!  So yes, I am sorry, but to make up for it I have lots of photos from my continuing adventures as a tourist in London!
