Lackie's Notes
I usually make my salads depending on how many people I'm feeding and whether I want leftovers, so don't worry too much about exact quantities here. A couple of handfuls of rocket and plenty of colourful peppers will do the job. And yes, sometimes you just have to listen to the ancestors.
