Ruth Langsford has shared a quick salad recipe with fans that’s ideal for a simple lunch. The 65-year-old Loose Women star mentioned that she made it after a ‘very long’ Pilates session this week, showcasing the dish on Instagram.

“Quick, lunch for one,” she wrote. “Did Pilates this morning with @siobhanklloyd after a VERY long time so I thought I’d better follow up with a healthy lunch!”

If you’re eager to try Ruth’s recipe, here are the eight essential ingredients she used.

One portion

Lettuce

Chopped cucumber

Avocado slices

M&S Seafood Sauce

Cooked prawns

A small volume of milk

A sprinkle of black pepper

A sprinkle of paprika

To kickstart her recipe, Ruth first chopped her ingredients off-camera before throwing the lettuce, chopped cucumber and lettuce into a dish. She then placed her cooked prawns in a separate bowl before coating them in a generous spoonful of the M&S Seafood sauce.

Once thoroughly mixed together, she popped the prawns on top of the salad in her serving dish. However, she then realised that a little more dressing was needed.

In light of this, she blended more of the seafood sauce with a tiny splash of milk in another separate bowl. She said this helped to loosen the dressing, which she subsequently drizzled over the salad.

As a final touch, paprika and black pepper were sprinkled on top. Ruth added: “Yes…my battery-operated pepper mill has a light!!!”

The TV star’s recipe was quickly showered by comments from fans, with many complementing her straight-forward but delicious-seeming recipe. One person wrote: “Love this Ruth. Looks delicious and healthy.”

Another person added: “Looks lovely Ruth . Great tasty lunch,” while someone else said: “I need that now please.”
