Recently, the bright and bubbly Melissa Hemsley visited the Khoollect kitchen to make her best mixed side salad and spiced lamb in baked aubergine boats.

Here’s what she says about this salad:

‘This is my go-to side salad: a mixture of crunchy, soft and bitter lettuce leaves tossed in a simple dressing. A side salad should take just a few minutes, so that you never have to worry about getting another dish on the table. But you can add more layers, of course, such as chopped herbs, spring onions or slices of fennel or avocado, or a handful of toasted nuts or dried fruit. Make sure you spin the leaves after you’ve washed them, so they are dry enough for the dressing to coat them properly – and look out for red chicory, which adds a lovely colour contrast.’
