For teatime our plan was chicken caesar salad supplemented with pasta something.
However someone had had the caesar salad for lunch!
So a quick google for swede and carrot salad turned up swede & carrot coleslaws and a papaya salad . . only without the papaya. Quite exciting. We simplified the recipe and it was quite yummy. And we had pasta with pesto, tomato puree and fried tomatos and fried spiced chicken (turmeric, ginger, curry, lemon juice) with garlic.

SOM TAM-STYLE SALAD WITH SWEDE AND THAI DRESSING
Serves: 2
Cook time: 20 minutes
Difficulty: Pretty Easy
Som tam, a salad made with green papaya, is a really popular dish in Thailand. I don’t know any Thai who could live without it. When I first came to England, I lived in Jersey for a while and there was only one shop on the island that sold Asian produce. Green papaya had to be ordered in (it would take around a month to arrive!) and was really expensive, so I started experimenting with local produce. After a bit of trial and error, I found that swede worked a treat in this dish. If you are feeling adventurous, chop up a packet of lightly smoked salmon and add it to the mix.
