May Salads

In the UK we are all getting involed in the latest trend to eat seasonal food. To me this is like going back to my childhood when all food was seasonal. I do prefer this as foods are then a real treat but I do like blueberries all year round ! Another thing is that our suppiers of food all year round happen to often be African countries that depend on us to increase their wealth. Food is politics?
I looked at an old book that discusses food in the UK and Europe in seasons. So in May look out for Asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, chervil, cucumbers, lettuce, new potatoes, peas, radish, rhubarb, seakale,spinach and turnips to make salads from.

Fish Salad
Ingredients
Cooked fish flaked
1 lettuce
watercress
1 apple diced
4 sticks of celery cut into small pieces
mayonnaise

Method
Take any cooked fish and flake it ready for the salad.
Take a salad plate and cover it with crunchy pieces of lettuce.
Place Watercress on top of this( a super food for vitamins , minerals and iron)
Put on the diced apple and celery
Flake the fish over this
Either serve the salad dressings on top of the fish or in separate dishes.
This salad can be made in individual plates as a main meal or starter.
Serve with new potatoes for a main meal
