Ingredients Tomatoes - try and use different sizes, colors or even types. Cucumbers Beans / Sugar snap beans / corn Sweet Peppers / Mild Chili peppers - I live for the spicy so a half of a jalapeno thrown into the mix really helps wake you up after a hard day of working for the man. Olive Oil Paprika Salt and Pepper Lemon JuiceInstructions 1. Start by dicing or slicing all your veg. I'm a lazy one, so I just hack at them till they cut but if you really want to pull out all the stops (like my mother always does), you can try carving them. For inspiration, check this out: Vegetable and Fruit Carving 2. Next add your olive oil. Be generous, think Spanish doses of the stuff, it doesn't have to swim in the oil, but you'll want every inch of  your veg to be merrily covered in the stuff. 3. In a separate little plate mix together your salt, pepper and a pinch of paprika. Be sure to taste your mixture, you don't want too much salt or pepper. In general, I usually put in a teaspoon of salt and pepper and a quarter teaspoon of paprika a portion of veg. However feel free to alter the ratio to suit your taste. 4. Only toss in your spices, and squeeze your lemon juice in, once you are ready to serve. It really adds a new dimension of flavor if its just freshly added because the paprika leaps out at you when its freshly sprinkled. I hope you like it, and if you do, please tell me so I know to put up more. I've started compiling lists of all the variations of salads in my old noggin, but lets start slowly and wean into it, shall we? Enjoy x
