Si served up a tasty layered salad with green beans and beetroot on The Hairy Bikers’ Northern Exposure.

The Bikers says: “The creamy, tangy dressing and chopped herbs are the stars of this Latvian salad. You can swap the vegetables to your taste, swapping beetroot for tomato, for example. If you can’t find Latvian cheese, feta works perfectly well as a substitute.”

For the dressing: 100ml buttermilk, 1 tbsp sour cream, 1 tbsp lemon juice or wine vinegar, ½ garlic clove, crushed or finely chopped, 1 tsp honey and salt and freshly ground black pepper.
