British Leafy Salads Association

Gone are the days when a salad consisted of no more than a tomato and cucumber with a few leaves on the side. Thanks to the growing, production and distribution cycle and the introduction of many different types of salad leaves which are now grown in the UK, a salad can be a tasty and satisfying meal, a refreshing snack or a sumptuous starter.
