Jono & Jules do food & wine

This is just a simple green salad but the addition of chopped green olives and red onions takes it to the next level. It’s particularly good with tomato-based dishes, like lasagne or Parmigiana.

Green salad with olive dressing – serves 6

• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 50g green olives, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 tsp golden caster sugar
• 6 big handfuls of mixed green salad leaves

Whisk the olive oil, vinegar and sugar together in a small bowl, then add the olives and red onion and season.

Tip the salad leaves into a bowl and drizzle over the dressing, then toss gently to coat.
