Full English Salad Recipes

ENGLISH GARDEN SALAD

Steps:

• Slice the potatoes and cook them in a large pan of salted boiling water for 7 minutes. While they're cooking, trim and diagonally slice the runner beans and chop the spring onions. Add the beans to the pan and cook for a further 7-9 minutes, until the potatoes and beans are just tender.
• Drain the veg and run under cold water to halt the cooking. Shake the colander to get rid of as much water as possible, then tip into a large bowl. Add the onions and tomatoes, crumble in the cheese and mix well.
• Add most of the mint and dressing and toss everything lightly together. Tip into a serving dish, drizzle with a little more dressing and scatter over the rest of the mint.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. On a deep baking tray arrange the tomatoes, then mushrooms, bacon coils and sausages in lines. Season the veg and drizzle them with ½ tbsp of the oil. Bake for 35 mins, turning sausages and bacon once. Remove from oven when the meat is cooked through, the sausages have browned and the bacon is crisp.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing by mixing 1 tbsp oil with vinegar and mustard.
• Fry the eggs in the remaining oil, in a non-stick pan, cooking to your liking. Assemble the salad by placing a handful of leaves on each plate. Slice the sausages and arrange with the tomatoes, mushrooms and bacon on top of the leaves. Drizzle with dressing. Place a couple of baguette slices in the middle of the salads and lay eggs on top.
