Or is your grocery store filled to the brim with local fruit? This is the time of the year to indulge in them before they turn bland and just accompany a sandwich for colour.

I like to keep things simple in the summer and with good quality ingredients there isn’t much fussing needed. Just a hot BBQ, some fresh produce, good quality feta and a sprinkle of pine nuts. People loved this salad at our Midsummer Party earlier this year. It’s the perfect accompaniment for your grilled burgers or sausages.
