I’m a little obsessed with pomegranate and mint at the moment. Whether it’s in a drink or in my grain salads I love it. This easy meatball recipe is finished with both and it brings such a welcome burst of freshness.
SOBA NOODLE SALAD WITH TAHINI DRESSING, BROCCOLI AND SOFT BOILED EGG
It’s noodle bowl time again. This is a delicious cold noodle salad that makes for a quick and easy dinner or lunch. It’s sort of Japanese meets Middle Eastern food and I’m okay with that because I love these flavours together.

GARLIC AND CHILLI PRAWNS ON CHEESY CAULIFLOWER PUREE WITH WILTED GREENS
This is one of those meals that tastes luxurious and indulgent. The garlic and chilli prawns are full of flavour and are super comforting with the creamy cauliflower puree.
CARAMELISED BANANA MUFFINS WITH A CINNAMON CRUMBLE
These muffins are simple and tasty and full of things that are good for you too. I kind of think about them as a more portable banana bread as they’re super similar in flavour and texture but you can just grab one and head out the door, no slicing required.
LOADED CHICKEN SALAD WITH HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING
I didn’t really know what to call this as it has a bit of everything in it and is loaded with flavour.. thus what I ended up calling it! This salad is a reworking of one of my favourite vegetarian salads but with a different dressing and a few other changes because… well I can’t make it the same now can I?
WASABI AVOCADO, EDAMAME AND PINK GRAPEFRUIT NOODLE SALAD
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.
POMEGRANATE, MINT AND ROSE SPRITZ
I’m a big fan of sparkling water. It’s the way I get bubbles into my life these days seeing as I’m not a fan of soft drink. You can add so many different fresh real flavours to it to make it feel like more of a treat and this mocktail is oh so fancy. It can even be made into an indulgent cocktail.
ZUCCHINI AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH HERB ‘MAYO’ AND CHICKPEA CROUTONS
This salad is so morish and fresh. Full of flavour and textures it’s basically everything a salad should be. The creamy yoghurt based dressing and the crunchy spiced chickpea croutons are winners you’ll be using in all your salad bowls.
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).
