ncy-wincy salad
I was in the mood for a healthy salad but an experimental one too, and I wanted to try out a spoonful of funky new flavours.
So I decided to cut the veggies and fruit into incy-wincy pieces and the minute the words “incy-wincy” popped into mind, all I could hear in my head was: “She wore an incy-wincy, teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini... and while I couldn’t get it out of my head I thought at least it’s an appropriate song for a summer salad.
I am not sure if it’s for everyone (after all some people don’t like the Archies, would you believe) and as for the salad, I know some people don’t like to mix their fruit and veggies, but I’m not one for segregation and it worked a treat for me and mine. I loved the tangy/sweetness from the marriage of munchables not meant to mix, meeting in the melting pot of my mouth. These tiny tomatoes literally burst between your teeth whenever you bite them, it’s delightful (brings whole new meaning to ‘love bite’). Needless to say, healthy and FRESSSSSSHHHH, and just right for a summer holiday. Now if you’ll excuse, I’m off to put on my Cliff Richard record.
