The sun is shining and I’m in salad mode. This chicken noodle slaw really hits the spot, full of vibrant colours, crunchy textures and a super flavoursome dressing. I used the classic KEEN’S Curry Powder for an instant easy flavour hit.
Greek Inspired Chicken Glow Bowl
The spice mix on this chicken is so perfect with all the fresh veg and herbs in this ‘glow bowl’. Full of stuff that makes me feel good, plus textures and flavours that I love: creamy avocado, nutty al dente grains, bright toms, tangy lemon, salty feta and the dill coated crunchy cucumber. And the super juicy pan roasted chicken breast is coated in the McCormick Greek Style Street Food seasoning – garlic, oregano and a hint of mint and lemon. Such a delicious time!
Roast Carrot and Honey Glazed Haloumi Salad
Oh this salad. This salad is just such a delightful time. The textures and flavours basically sing and I just can’t stop eating it.
Grilled Pork and Coconut Rice Salad Bowls
So this is basically an inauthentic riff on a bun bowl, but with coconut rice. It’s simple, delicious and the marinade can be used on chicken thighs or skirt steak too. This is a classic warm night meal in our house, we cook the pork on the bbq and nothing else requires heat so the house doesn’t get hot, perfection!
Lentil Salad with Baked Feta and Tomato
After watching so many people make the viral baked feta and tomato dish that Liemessa started making, I knew that this was one food trend I wanted to get involved in. I mean I love pasta so why not?! But it’s summer and I also love salad, and I’ve been weirdly craving lentils. So this happened instead. All the flavours of that pasta but in a lentil salad. It’s so good. I still love the pasta version too though!
20 of My Favourite Salads
At this time of year I’m obsessed with eating salads. They’re quick and easy and exactly what I feel like eating on a warm summer’s day. The following are my current favourites.
BLAT Potato Salad
Oh my, oh my. This potato salad is so good. It’s one of my favourite sandwiches but a salad. A potato salad! What’s not to love?
Soy and Sesame Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Quinoa and Green Tahini Dressing
This one is totally inspired by one of my favourite lunch bowls at Tinker but it’s a simpler version you can make at home without having to create loads of components. I add nuts to it for extra protein but you could add fish, chicken, an egg or tofu if your tummy is really growling.
Corn and Cabbage Slaw with Satay Sauce
I love a crunchy salad. And I love Satay sauce. This salad is made both more delicious and more filling with the addition of roasted nuts and a creamy satay sauce.
Lentil, Kale and Haloumi Salad
This easy and delicious salad is made even better with sautéed leek. It’s a serves one recipe but you easy double it or more.
