Baked Tempeh Noodle Salad with a Grapefruit Dressing
So tempeh has been around for years but it’s really just made it to the uk chain store market in the last few years it has more texture than tofu and it really soaks up the marinade. I had a grapefruit leftover from a fruit salad and thought I would make a dressing like the…
Hot Smoked Salmon on a bed of Lentils with a Grapefruit, Coriander and Mustard Dressing

I bought some gyoza from Lidl and thought I might try them in a salad. I steamed half and air fried the rest. The result was I appreciated the crispy ones more. The radish and pepper worked so well and I’ve made this sizzling dressing before it’s so mice as it makes the flavours not…

Horseradish Jersey Royal Potato Salad with Roast Beef and Chive’s
I love jersey royal season, they are so creamy compared to the usual new potatoes, though I don’t mind them ever. I love a potato salad and it seems to be popular in the US I think we probably stole the idea from them. I bought some roast beef slices but I don’t think they…
Black Bean Salsa with Ham and Parmesan Corn on the Cob
I love Mexican bean salads, it’s a good way to use up spring onion tops and any herbs you have. I have tried to just grill corn on cob but it’s never tender enough so I use chef mic to tenderise them first. I recently watched a food myth programme and they tested steaming veg,…
Steak Salad with Roasted Radishes, Puy Lentils and a Goat Cheese and Kale Pesto

Honey and Thyme Baked Feta Cheese Salad with Beetroot Salsa
Feta is a healthy option for a salad, I really fancied doing something different with it and thought I would have a go of baking it. I love the new texture the feta has, it’s warm, fluffy and slightly gooey but still holds it shape. The honey works so well I’ve had it in a…
Prosciutto Wrapped Oozy Saganaki on a Broad Bean and Preserved Lemon Salad
I love saganaki as it is as oozy as mozzarella but has so much more flavour. I thought I’d pimp up by wrapping it in prosciutto. It goes well with the fresh, sweet and zingy salad. If your looking for saganaki I got mine from Waitrose and it was in the halloumi and feta area….
Hot Smoked Salmon and Avocado with Parsley and Mint Pesto Jersey Royal Potato Salad
This is such a good time of year for produce some of my favourites are asparagus, wild garlic and of course the first harvest of jersey royals. Jersey royals are creamy, buttery but still nice and firm so what better way to eat them other than warm (these were my leftovers from another dinner) in…
Tuna and Chickpea Salad with an Olive and Caper Dressing
Tuna is a great store cupboard ingredient to knock up a salad, most of the ingredients came out of my cupboard which means it’s great to knock up if you forgot to plan your lunch. The dressing is salty and works well with the tuna. I cut through this with the lemon juice and zest….
Oven Baked Crispy Bacon and Tomatoes with New Potatoes and Wild Garlic Pesto
I love crispy American bacon and decided I wanted to try and recreate it myself. On this attempt I used the wire rack oven method and it worked really well. I know it’s spring when the wild garlic appears. I’ve made a few things with it this year but I do love the faithful pesto…
