I recently made a fava bean and pecorino salad that was so light and refreshing for the start of spring (and now we have the weather for it too!).
I often add fruit to savoury salads; I love raspberries in a salad with goat's cheese and hazelnuts or this beet, orange and feta salad with chickpeas I made recently.
I make a homemade vinaigrette potato salad - think a mustardy homemade vinaigrette instead of mayo - the night before, reserving some dressing for the next day. I take it to work & toss with spring greens and a little more of the dressing. Its delicious, sour, fresh and filling.
