You don’t just have to save your berry harvest for pudding, try adding them to a salad for an extra tart/sweet flavour. It’s up to personal taste which ones you use, but this is my favoruite combination.
FOR THE DRESSING:
1. First prepare the dressings. Put the vinegar, oil, mustard, honey and seasoing in small screw-top jar and shake well to mix. Set aside until ready to serve.
2. Carefully rinse and dry the berries and currants. Remove the tops of the strawberries and cut in halves or quarters depending on size. Strip the redcurrants from the stalks and place in a bowl. Mix in the raspberries. Set aside. Thinly slice the radish.
3. When ready to serve, put a few salad leaves on each serving plate and sprinkle with radish and the berries. Top with a few slices of smoked chicken and spoon over the berry dressing. Sprinkle with a few leaves of tarragon and serve at room temperature.
Cook’s note: The secret of this salad is to serve it unchilled. While you can prepare the various elements in advance, let them stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the flavours to develop before serving.

WARNING!; This has to be one of the prettiest soups you will ever make. If you’re not into cold soups, try serving it over ice in a glass and drinking it as a savoury smoothie.
1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the onion, garlic and spices. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes until softened but not browned. Add the carrots and remove from the heat. Set aside.
2. Wash the beetroot well, then carefully peel ( You may want to wear later gloves because the juice will stain your fingers) abd cut into small pieces. Stir into the saucepan and return to the heat. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute until well incorporated into the oniony butter..
3. Pour over the stock, bring to the boil, half-cover and simmer for about 1 hour until very tender. Set aside to cool completely.
