simple crunchy side salad

starter | serves Serves 2
Top your green beans, leaving the tails on. Blanch the beans in boiling, salted water for 3 to 4 minutes, then drain and leave them to one side to cool down. Meanwhile tear, wash and dry the leaves of your little gem and cos lettuce. Peel your cucumber and carrot. Cut the cucumber in half lengthways, and remove and discard the inner core. Finely slice the cucumber and carrot. Finely slice the celery heart lengthways.

To serve, mix all the ingredients together, add enough of your favourite dressing to coat and toss together, making sure that everything is dressed nicely.
