The weather's telling us that its time to turn our minds to salad and lighter style wines. 

So this month we asked @Another_Food_Blogger to come up with something delicious to go with our rapier-sharp and equally delicious Excalibur Sauvignon Blanc. Of course, he never disappoints! 

You can prepare this Burrata and Parma Ham Salad with herbs and green peas in 15 minutes.
