Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

    Can substitute cucumbers for baby cucumbers.

    This was ok, but not so special. The amount of dressing would have been too little for four portions in my case.

    We used baby spinach and it worked quite well. I would also increase the dressing by 50% and consider committing the mint as it wasn't popular with the husband. Overall very light and healthy with an interesting balance of flavours. A different take which was well received and would be especially nice with a richer meal.

    Sub in baby spinach if lambs lettuce difficult to find

    I found this salad a little dry - lamb's lettuce can be a little papery, plus all the chopped herbs etc. There really wasn't enough of the dressing (and I followed the amounts of everything religiously) next time I'd make double or even triple the amount of dressing in order to taste it more and render the salad less dry.

    I found the ginger to be over powering. Was that just me?

    A different fresh dressing.
