Ruth Langsford has revealed her favourite salad recipe that’s ideal for warm summer days and casual lunches with friends. The 65-year-old Loose Women star shared the simple, vibrant dish on Instagram this week, quickly earning praise from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
In her post, Ruth explained, “I’ve got my roller in again getting ready for friends to pop round, and thought I’d share one of my favourite summer dishes.” Her no-cook salad is a colourful mix of fresh ingredients, made with whatever’s available in the fridge. A key tip she shared is to scoop out the seeds from cucumbers and tomatoes to keep the salad from becoming watery.
The TV star demonstrated the ease of preparation by starting with an empty bowl and adding each ingredient one by one. While adaptable to what you have on hand, her version included fresh herbs like parsley and basil, with avocado added last to prevent browning. She suggested garnishing with a touch of cress for added freshness.

Ruth also showcased a convenient salad dressing shaker, purchased from Amazon, that provides recipes for dressings like French vinaigrette and honey mustard. By simply adding ingredients and shaking, it makes dressing the salad effortless. To complete the meal, she paired the salad with a shop-bought rotisserie chicken, making it a light, tasty, and shareable summer meal.
Fans and fellow celebrities quickly chimed in with their responses. Former X Factor judge Dannii Minogue commented, “More recipes please. Love this. I would add a plate of salmon for non-meat eaters—I like to sear it then bake till just pink in the centre.” Comedian Lee Peart added, “Beetroot is underrated and belongs in every salad; it’s a yes from me.”
Ruth’s easy and colourful salad recipe offers a refreshing and adaptable option for summer dining, perfect for social gatherings or a simple lunch at home.
