This is a lovely salad, perfect for my lunch today. I reduced all the proportions to make one individual serving. I also substituted seedless raisins for the sultanas, because I couldn't find sultanas at the store. The other change I made was to add some diced beetroot to the salad mix, in addition to the dressing, because I love beets. And I mixed all but the greens together, then put the mixture on top of a plate of salad greens (arugula/rocket). Delicious! Thanks, lindseylcw!

Hello, thought I should update this page a wee bit now we have a new furbaby called Bismila as well as our beloved Maddie who is the star of the photo. I live with my husband Keir in the North East of Scotland between Inverness and Aberdeen, it is very beautiful here. My DH is a keen salmon fisherman and is in the right place to do this! I ran my own pubs and restaurants for many years until arthritis made catering just too much for me, I am 'semi' retired now and can't seem to drag myself away from this site. I have met some wonderful people here and made good friends for which I am eternally grateful.
