Freekeh Salad

What a tasty little grain this is. Freekeh is young, green wheat which has been toasted and cracked. One of the so called ‘ancient grains’ which have made a resurgence in recent years, it is packed full of goodness and tastes great too. I can’t get it at my supermarket, but I think some fancy supermarkets stock it and most delis and health food shops. 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

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
