Summer is on the way… !

Summer is on the way… !

If you are in the UK… isn’t it a glorious day!? It certainly feels like Summer here! (20c / 68f) So, out are the hot soups, the curries and the chili and instead let’s have salads! No, not a bit of lettuce and tomato, a proper salad! or even how about a delicious Buddha bowl?

Food or flowers… which did you see first?

I think we should create a new name for “salads” as they don’t really portray a substantial and tasty meal! Any suggestions?

I personally think the basis of a good salad is a grain – like rice, or quinoa, with a good measure of chopped fresh vegetables, possibly another protein such as tofu, chickpeas or cheese or chicken (if that’s your thing)! and a drizzle of a delicious sauce, oh and don’t forget the sprinkling of something – be it herbs, seeds or a dressing!

Lets have a look…

Sexy Summer Salad (definitely a very popular salad)

Sizzling Shiraz Salad (One of my favourites)

Tropical Rice Salad (perfect for a barbecue)

Greek Salad (dairy free and Vegan feta included!)

Tri-colour Quinoa Salad (easy option for a work lunch)

 

What’s in your favourite salad? Or does anything go if it’s slathered in your favourite dressing? I think anything tastes better with a side of houmous! or a drizzle of tahini yogurt dressing!
