Look out for the flamboyant French breakfast radishes: bright pink with a white strip at the base. If the leaves look fresh, toss them into the salad – they taste a little like rocket.

DifficultyEasy
Method
Drain the cottage cheese in a sieve to get rid of any excess whey.
Meanwhile, trim the spring onions of any wilted greens. Heat a frying pan or griddle and dry-fry them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Set aside on a plate.
Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Season well and set aside.
Peel and halve the cucumber lengthways. Run a teaspoon along the seed cavity to remove the seeds and discard. Finely slice the cucumber, then toss together with the lettuce, radishes, spring onions, mint and dressing. Scatter the cottage cheese curds over the salad to serve.
