This is taking sides to a whole new level. For the lat 2 weeks I’ve started each week with a batch of this pumpkin in my fridge to add to different salads and meals through the week because it makes me look forward to eating whatever it is that I add it to.
SALT AND PEPPER CRISPY PRAWN LETTUCE CUPS
PESTO, BROCCOLI AND BABY POTATO SALAD
I might be a little obsessed with this pesto and this salad. And the two together. Mostly the two together. There’s something about potatoes smothered in pesto that’s all kinds of right. Plus potato salad has long been a favourite food of mine… I just don’t usually make it this green!
HOT SMOKED SALMON AND PINK GRAPEFRUIT SALAD
SUPER GREEN MIDDLE EASTERN BREAKFAST BOWL
This breakfast bowl is simple to make and loaded with goodness. Quinoa makes the base topped with olive oil sauteed kale, that’s all crisp at the edges, crunchy radish, creamy avocado and the fresh burst of pomegranate. And all finished with some Za’atar to spice things up in the morning.
GOLDEN COCONUT TOFU BUDDHA BOWLS
I haven’t made a buddha bowl in what feels like ages and this was just what I needed. Golden coconut coated tofu, roasted kale and lightly pickled carrot with a creamy avocado and peanut sauce or piled on top of quinoa – perfect.

TANDOORI SALMON AND CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH RAIITA
You all know by now that I’m pretty pro the cauliflower. Especially roasted, the texture is the best: tender on the inside, crispy on the outside. Plus, it’s a magnet for other delicious flavours. It’s so good that you can have this salad without the salmon and it’s still DELICIOUS. But the salmon is amazing too! This is basically the perfect warm winter salad.
MISO SESAME ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND PUMPKIN GRAIN SALAD
Yum yum yum! This salad is warm, and comforting and full of flavour. It’s also loaded with vegetables and totally winter appropriate. The crunchy toasted coconut, crispy bits of roast cauliflower and caramelised pumpkin are a killer combo. Especially with miso and sesame paste coating it all. Yes, yes, yes.
PUMPKIN, CHICKPEA AND TAHINI SALAD
This salad is full of flavour and texture thanks to the creamy dressing, crunchy almonds, sweet pumpkin and fresh spinach. The perfect prep ahead work salad. Just don’t toss it all together until you’re ready to eat.
