Her dad was a wholesale butcher, so she loves a good cut of meat. This recipe for Seared Beef with Vegetable and Potato Salad is exactly the kind of food she grew up eating and still cooks today, full of healthy vegetables that are the perfect foil for the beef. Linda’s parents had a vegetable patch to grow their own peas and beans.

Linda’s busy lifestyle doesn’t allow time for that, so she pops round to her local SPAR to buy cucumber, avocado, apples, and limes to make juice. She says the SPAR avocados are perfect every day!
