Open to everyone until Monday, October 26

To keep it, print it while it is open.

Lettuce, cucumber, radishes and green beans taste best in summer, when they are picked at their peak. You can wash them, tear or slice them, and mix them into a fresh savoury salad.

In the picture

  1. Lettuce leaves torn into a wide bowl: crisp and cool from the garden
  2. A cucumber cut into slices on a wooden board: crunchy and full of water
  3. Radishes with their leafy tops: peppery and bright pink
  4. Green beans: snapped into short pieces and best lightly cooked

Examples

  • A tomato and cucumber salad on a hot afternoon
  • Green beans steamed for a few minutes and served with olive oil
