This festive Italian salad screams summer to me. Light, yet bursting with flavour from the roasted red peppers, olives, tomatoes, cannellini beans & my home made basil pesto dressing. Delicious was a side to fish, chicken, ham, beef or simply on its own.

These evolved from my Mum's chocolate pepper biscuit recipe. To be honest it got too hot to put the oven on xmas eve to bake so now we have a new family tradition of these peppery, chocolate ginger balls dusted in cocoa. You won't stop at one, perfect with a cuppa.
