Quick Lunches: Salad

What do you usually have for lunch?

I'm quite partial to a lunchtime salad, it's my favourite way of using up left over meat from the previous night's dinner or getting rid of those annoying bits and pieces lying around in the fridge. Also because I'm lazy and salads are easy.

Here are some I've made recently....get yourself a cup of tea, there are lots of pictures!
