Smoked Salmon Salad

Salad in wintertime? Try this delicious recipe with caper berries, lentil sprouts and herb yoghurt dressing... I love a big salad for lunch even in winter time - the trick is to make sure the ingrediants are at room temperature by taking them out of the fridge an hour or so before making or taking a salad (in a container) to work and leaving it out of the fridge! In winter is it also important to use warming ingrediants such as chilli, pepper, mustard and root vegetables such as carrot, beetroot and bitter greens like rocket.
