This bright green courgette, pea shoot and pomegranate salad is a pop of colour for your Sunday roast table or picnic basket. A selection of greens from petits pois and sugar snap peas to pea shoots and the juicy pomegranate seeds makes this a delightful treat, with the pomegranate bringing a touch of luxury to it. To make the impressive-looking courgette noodles, simply use a spiraliser to carve thin slices out of the courgette or a julienne peeler. This adds even more nutrition to your salad. Served with a dressing made of honey, rapeseed oil and sherry vinegar, it’s a cheerful light salad that works well as a side. It’s quick to make so you can easily put it together and takes no time from other cooking. Try it with a roast dinner as a veggie extra for a lighter twist on the usual sides.
