award winning

You may remember a salad I made almost two months back - "A supper-sized salad" - with peaches, bacon, mozzarella and avocado. I entered it in a healthy-eating website's contest for the best summer salad under 500 calories - and won!

Unfortunately, you need to be a member to log-in, but here's what I - and they - had to say:

"My favourite thing about this salad is the peach, oil-less vinaigrette." says Jen. "The flavours are amazing - so alive!" … The tasting team at WLR couldn't have agreed more. We particularly loved the complimentary flavours of peach and bacon (they just fuse).

Try the salad out for yourself and see - just click on the top link.

Oh and the prizes - my bounty was Super Salads cookbook (see left) and a Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker. I haven't used the latter yet - but will keep you posted.
