Courgette, herb and poppy seed salad
This grated courgette salad with lots of herbs is a good simple way to enjoy the first courgettes of the year – or to use up a glut. It's a base you can play around with – add grated carrots for more crunch, or French beans or sugar snap peas.

- ½ tbsp parsley, finely chopped
