Fenel and blood orange salad

Slice your oranges (or ruby grapefruit, in this case) into bit-size chunks, and arrange on plate with thinly-sliced fennel.

Add rocket, black olives. Drizzle over with olive oil lightly. Tasty-zingy-yummy.

Greek 'Shepherd's' Salad with Feta

Don't know why this is particularly pastoral (except perhaps for the feta thing) but it's DAMN tasty, really recommend it with the Braised Chicken with Lemon and Honey (or indeed, just on its own - I could eat this till the sheep come home).

Combine: a tin of chickpeas, a good-size cucumber (non-seed variety), a decent chunk of feta, a bit of flat-leaf plasley (actually we fogot this, it was lovely without), 1 chopped green pepper, and a good handful of black olives. Dress them in a standard and pedestrian manner, and serve.

This is a truly excellent salad. It's so delicious and moreish you quite forget how healthy it is - which is, sickeningly healthy.

We had it with the Lemon and Honey chicken and it goes perfectly.
