I love salad. I think that a really good salad, with a combination of interesting flavours and textures, dressed really well, can make one of the best meals around. Roast broccoli with buttery pine nuts and melt in your mouth parmesan shavings; juicy sweet pear with toasted walnuts (although I prefer pecans) and crumbly stilton or gooey gorgonzola; Cobb salad, the delights of which I’ve only discovered in the past few years. The list goes on. Who could get bored?


This Puy lentil and sun dried tomato salad is a fantastic combination of flavours, colours and textures and is something I like to take to work for lunch. It is also great as part of a picnic or served alongside pan fried fish or chicken.

I like to use Merchant Gourmet puy lentils*. They are cooked to perfection and taste great. However, if you can’t get Puy lentils then don’t worry. You can also make this salad with tinned green lentils*, they make a perfect substitute.

Easy Summer Coleslaw. This fresh, light, summer coleslaw is a slaw that you will come back to again and again. Crunchy, but with none of the toughness of traditional coleslaw. The tangy lime dressing really makes the flavours sing.
