Broccoli, pancetta, mint & macadamia salad

Lifted from goodfood.com.au, this salad is a meal in itself. The addition of macadamias is genius, so flavoursome, it just keeps giving with every mouthful; and in light of the large volume of broccoli, it has to be healthy, right? READ MORE

Raw Zucchini Salad

You’ll be feeling quite virtuous with a little of this on the side. I’m calling this a salad, but really it’s just some quickly peeled and marinated zucchini. Super healthy made with raw zucchini (which is delicious) it will go well with any meat or fish or even an omelette. READ MORE

Crisp Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I think Brussels sprouts were my least favourite veg growing up. Me and my brothers used to smother them in tomato sauce to mask the flavour and almost swallow them whole to get it over with. But, roasted, these babies are absolutely full of flavour, particularly if you add bacon, soy and lemon. Oh yes. READ MORE

Another Bean Salad (Lemony White Beans with Pecorino)

I was short on time today and decided to bust out the tins of cannellini beans once again. Instead of making my usual Easy Bean Salad with Goats Cheese, I tried this version from my new Date Night In book by Ashley Rodriguez. She serves it as part of an antipasto platter, but it was great with lamb cutlets (the rosemary really matched up well) and some Fennel and Radish Salad on the side. READ MORE

Fennel and Radish Salad

Raw fennel is way yummier than cooked in my opinion and this is such a refreshing salad in either summer or winter. It’s fantastic with fish and chicken on a hot night, or will lighten up a heavier meal, such as pasta in winter. READ MORE

Avocado Salad with Cumin and Pepitas

I recently bought the most beautiful new cookbook by Ashley Rodriguez – she’s a former chef in the US who has the award winning blog ‘Not Without Salt’. The book is called ‘Date Night In’ and it’s packed full of decadent feasts to share with your significant other, designed to get the juices flowing and reinvigorate relationships (wink wink).

Easy Bean Salad with Goats Cheese

When you’re feeling a bit cooked out this time of year and really can’t be bothered, this is a great quick, light and healthy little salad which goes well with chicken, meat or fish. I usually serve it with spiced lamb back straps, but it would be good with roast chicken (store bought is fine now and again!) or pan fried fish. READ MORE

Raw Carrot and Beetroot Salad

This is a lovely fresh salad, which goes with just about anything really. The earthy beetroot is great raw with the lemon and it’s really healthy. A good one for all ages (if you leave out chilli or add it at the table for the grown ups) it’s another Karen Martini fave. She pairs it with spicy fried lamb mince and a chickpea puree. I reckon it would be good with roast chicken or schnitzel, lamb cutlets or pan fried fish. READ MORE

Ricotta Salata with Tomatoes, Onion and Basil

Who’s sick of the tasteless tomatoes selling at the shops right now? Even in the peak of summer, green, yellow, orange or red, they just don’t seem to have any flavour. Farmers markets are definitely the go until our tomatoes are ready later in the summer. When they are, this salad makes the most of the ripe, sun-kissed gems. READ MORE

Em’s Famous Guacamole

My lil’ sis loves this guacamole and it gets a run pretty often, disappearing in the flash of an eye. Lizzie, this one’s for you, so you don’t have to wait for me to make it. READ MORE
