Trout, beetroot and bean salad - Good Food Magazine
Serves 4

Preparation time less than 30 mins
Cooking time less than 10 mins

Ingredients
200g/8oz fine green beans, trimmed
120g/4oz bag watercress and rocket salad
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
250g/9oz smoked trout fillets (if you can't find trout, salmon works well - but the they must be fillets, not the uber-smoked sliced fish). Pre-cooked, or cook before hand and cool.
4 cooked beetroot, diced (not vinegared, and definitely not tinned. Bleh)
6tbsp 0% fat fromage frais (or natural yoghurt, or creme fraiche, or soured cream)
15-30/2-3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2tsp creamed horseradish

Method1. Cook the green beans in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain and refresh in cold water ( ... )

Thank you! :D Ooh, that looks easy. Plus if I make it with couscous, then it's easy enough to split some off for lunch the next day. Yay!

It'll definitely work as a cold lunch - it's tasty enough not to need the heat.

I know I'd love the Squash stir-fry, but sadly I'd be the only one eating. *sighs*

You always make the most wonderful sounding food. Are any of the recipes child/picky man friendly(without dairy products too please)? :P

What do you call squash? The recipe is actually butternut pumpkin (and not really what I'd call a stir-fry either), not those yellow things. For some reason, what I know as pumpkin gets called squash here. It'd make a brilliant veggie dish next to sausages, if you don't think they'd be able to handle a totally veggie recipe.

What are they like with spices? A lot of my dishes have chilli or cayenne or paprika in them - are they okay with those?

Cayenne is probably out, but if it's not much the chili or paprika might be okay.

We have butternut squash, and pumpkin squash, the boys won't eat either, so probably not gonna work which is sad cause I love all squashes, acorn being my favorite. ;)

I had a long think about this one, and kept coming back to this recipe.
