Grilled Vegetable Salad with Lemon and Mustard Dressing
Insalata di verdure grigliate con condimento al limone e mostarda
This has to be one of my favourite salads of all time. For me it’s a real combination of Italy and the UK. The grilled vegetables and artichokes, which we eat almost daily in the South of Italy, mixed with the very popular avocado, honey and mustard are truly a perfect match. This really is a meal in itself, but of course you can add tuna, or a cheese such as feta or goat’s cheese, or even pieces of cooked chicken if you prefer. If you’re preparing this in advance, don’t add the avocado, dressing or lemon until ready to serve, or it will discolour the salad.
