Expert Tips
Stir through some salad leaves such as watercress, rocket or spinach and serve as a main course rather than a side dish.
Prepare this salad in advance, cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours. Just before serving, check to make sure the salad is creamy. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk if the salad seems dry.
