Cherry Salad

Cherry Salad

By OcadoPublished on 21 August 2023Serve up food writer John Gregory-Smith’s stunning summer cherry salad, written exclusively for Ocado. “There is something so lush about the sweet tang of a juicy cherry and during the summer months, I can devour them in vast quantities, working at such pace I get stained fingers and what looks like badly applied lippie. They also work beautifully in a salad. That big flavour pops out when paired with tomatoes, basil, pomegranate and mozzarella. It's delish as a light lunch or perfect as a BBQ side.”
