The Ultimate Chopped Salad
With summer in full swing, there is one dish that is now guaranteed to feature regularly on my lunch and dinner, a classic chopped salad. The key to a good chopped salad is in the dressing and I love to use a classic honey and mustard. I top this with some toasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds for some extra savouriness and crunch.

2. In a small frying pan toast the seeds on a medium heat and scatter them over the salad.
3. To make the dressing, mix the mustard and honey together in a bowl then gradually add the oil and whisk together. Season with salt and pepper. Mix everything together and serve.
