broccoli and crispy chicken salad

17 January 2024

Not all salads need to have lettuce, and this is a good example of one that doesn’t. I like to use a bed of steamed broccoli as the base and then build on top. This is beyond tasty with a delicious breaded chicken, a little cheese, bacon, as well as some carrot, corn and slivered almonds. For the dressing, I like to have some creaminess, but not an overwhelming flavour. I like to use cashew cream, but you could use a ranch or caesar salad if you feel it.

chicken and mango salad

17 January 2024

For the longest time, I couldn’t stomach the thought of mango in a salad. Don’t get me wrong, mangoes are my favourite fruit, and that’s how I wanted it to stay. But then I had a prawn and mango salad at a fancy restaurant and I was instantly a convert.

lamb salad

I love lamb, regardless of the time of year. In the summer, incorporating lamb into a salad is my favourite way to eat it. Just recently I have been having a lot of lamb salads in restaurants and the below recipe is a culmination of my favourite elements of those salads.

taco salad

Mexican cuisine is my favourite type of food. I could eat it for every meal, every day. Unfortunately, burritos and enchiladas are not really something you should be eating all the time. So I thought I would take my favourite taco ingredients, whack them in a bowl, add a few more veggies, and call it a salad. Easy as that.
