This is our simplest (and tastiest) salad recipe ever – a summer bowl that whisks you away to the Mediterranean. But first, let’s just talk about how this recipe came about.

A few weeks ago we did a small low-key shout out on our insta where we wondered what kind of recipes you wanted to see from our kitchen garden this summer. So many of you replied and we got tons and tons of requests!

Your answers were so creative and so varying that we could really find a red thread so actually started an excel sheet to keep track of some of the ideas we thought we would give a go. One thing we did notice a lot of you asking for were quick salads. The kind of salads that you can put together in five minutes when you come home hungry from the beach with sand between your toes and you’re maybe even a bit hangry? So, voilà!

The recipe below is among the simplest and tastiest ways to quickly assemble a salad (there is one more, but we’ll get back to that later). The idea here is that you take everything you think is good and place it in piles in a deep bowl. Top with a good dressing. Eat.

But how did we do the hummus?

You who regularly listen to the Food Pharmacy pod know that we always have garlic hummus in the fridge. But if you are not as crazy about chickpeas and garlic as we are, then you can find a good recipe here. And no, we don’t stand and make our homemade almond feta on the days when time is short.We go to the store and buy ready. And half of the time we just use ordinary feta cheese.
