But this was brilliant in my sunny pasta salad, thrown together with oddments from a trendy new invention of Fore Street Deli....the Allotment Deli.
Sunny Salad...with a nod to another whitewashed seaside
100g (4oz) Feta cheese, cubed
1/2 cucumber, cubed
100g (4oz) Cherry tomatoes, halved
50g (2oz) black pitted olives
1/2 small red onion, chopped
2 x 15mlsp (2Tbsp) chopped chervil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
dressing as you wish, or just a splash of olive oil
Toss all the prepared ingredients together in a bowl - dress as required. add the chopped chervil and the seasoning before serving.
