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
- Lettuce leaves torn into a wide bowl: crisp and cool from the garden
- A cucumber cut into slices on a wooden board: crunchy and full of water
- Radishes with their leafy tops: peppery and bright pink
- 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
Key takeaways

- Washing and preparing vegetables is a simple way to help make a meal
