MIXED GREENS WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
I like to make this dish with whatever greens are in season. In spring, I use tender young greens from my garden, including spinach and Bibb lettuce. This salad is our favorite to serve with a baked chicken casserole. It's also perfect for potlucks-just toss the dressing with vegetables right before serving.

Steps:
- Put the kettle on to boil. Tip the spring greens into a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water from the kettle, then leave to stand for 2 mins to soften slightly. Drain well, then tip onto a plate lined with kitchen paper. Spread the greens out in a single layer so the paper can absorb as much of the excess water as possible. Leave to cool for 2 mins.
- Meanwhile, toss the parsley, quinoa and red onions together. Mix in the spring greens, then scatter over the cheese and toss gently with your hands to combine.
- Whisk the lemon zest and juice, the mustard and rapeseed oil together in a jug to make a dressing. Pour this over the spring green salad and toss gently to combine. Tip the salad onto a large serving platter or spoon into individual bowls and scatter over the walnuts, if using. Serve immediately.
