pumpkin, kale & quinoa salad

15 april 2026

This salad is absolutely delicious. I know what you’re thinking… “kale?? Gross, no thanks”. Hear me out. There is so much flavour, texture and colour. You will not be thinking “kale is spinach’s bitter cousin”, you’ll be thinking “wow, kale can actually taste nice”.

vietnamese lemongrass chicken salad

21 november 2025

I had a hankering for a Vietnamese salad one day, so I thought I’d just make one. As you do.This is one of those recipes I come back to every now and then, especially in summer when you want something that feels light but still satisfying. It’s bright, zesty, fresh—everything a summer salad should be.

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

17 January 2024

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

17 January 2024

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.
