A light, refreshing salad was on the agenda tonight after that solid hunk of meat-wrapped in meat last night. There is no science to this - I just threw together some of my favourite ingredients and it all miraculously worked.

In keeping with my effort to try new ingredients I worked kefir into the dressing. Not to be confused with the lime variety kaffir, kefir is a kinda super yoghurt with greater health benefits than standard yoghurt as it contains yeasts and a larger range of bacteria (a whopping 12 billion, to be exact). I'm no expert so if you are interested in the whos, hows and whys please check out the aptly-named Babushka's Kefir for a detailed run-down.

They say you don't make friends with salad, but this one will have them lining up at your front door
