Mark Hix recipe: Dorset Black Cow salad

Serves 4

Dorset Black Cow salad (Jason Lowe)

This is a take on a Greek salad; you can vary the ingredients according to what's around.

4 cucumbers, quartered lengthways, seeds removed and cut into 1-2cm chunks
1 large red onion, peeled, halved and chopped into rough 1cm dice
A handful or two of cooked broad beans
40-50 stoned black olives
20 tomatoes, cut into chunks
A couple of handfuls of mint leaves, torn
4-6 leaves of cos lettuce, cut into rough 2cm squares
1x 200g Black Cow cheese, cut into rough 1cm chunks
250ml olive oil
The juice of 3 lemons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Mix the olive oil and lemon juice together and season well. Mix all of the other ingredients together. Now toss some of the cheese into the salad and season.
