The noodle salad is made with a mixture of ribboned carrot ‘noodles’ and rice noodles. The combination of fresh and pickled vegetables with the spicy avocado dressing a tart grapefruit is so refreshing you’ll be craving this when the warm weather really sets in.
CRISPY ROASTED ZUCCHINI
These guys are my new favourite salad bowl obsession. Or nourish bowl. Or buddah bowl. Or food. Whatever you want to call it. Super easy to make with good texture and flavour. What more do you want? You can also eat them as a side when you’re dining family style, instead of roast potatoes or something. Or in my case, as well as (don’t take my potatoes away).
STEAK BURRITO BOWLS
As the weather warms up I’m in the mood for bowls of fresh food with crisp zingy flavours. And this bowl ticks all those boxes. It’s also getting closer to BBQ weather and this steak would be perfect on the BBQ.
AVOCADO AND EGG RICE PAPER ROLLS WITH PEANUT AND LIME DIPPING SAUCE
Does that sound weird? Because it shouldn’t as avocado and egg are obvs amazing together. And the thin slices of mirin seasoned omelette make the perfect vegetarian rice paper roll filling. And that dipping sauce, oh it’s good.
QUINOA TABBOULEH SALAD
CAULIFLOWER FRIED ‘RICE’ WITH GARLICKY GREENS
Cauliflower has got to be the most amazingly versatile vegetable ever. Well one of them, I hate to play favourites. It makes an amazing bechamel, ridiculously creamy soup, a fried chicken substitute, and a great addition to salads. And this time it makes rice.
PUMPKIN, ASPARAGUS AND KALE QUICHE WITH FETA AND SPELT PASTRY
CRISPY CRUNCHY CHICKEN SALAD WITH PARMESAN DRESSING
This is the best salad I’ve ever made. Did I say that yesterday?! If I did I didn’t know any better. Or maybe this is the best chicken I’ve ever made? No, it’s the salad. Fresh, crisp lettuce, creamy avocado, decadent Parmesan dressing and that crispy crunchy chicken.
CHOPPED THAI SALAD WITH PEANUT AND LIME DRESSING
This salad has it all. Colour, texture, flavour. Plus it’s filling and easy to throw together. You can have it for lunch, as a side or even in a chicken burger/sandwich. It’s versatile and delicious.
VEGETARIAN PAD THAI
How good is Pad Thai? It was my favourite noodle dish for years. Years I tell you, and I get bored oh so easily. The problem is it’s so hit and miss when you order it at take away places. So I now love making it at home, just the way I like it. I’ll put the prawn and chicken version up next, because that’s the other way I like it.
