Mexican Beef Salad with Salsa
I recently had a request for both Mexican flavoured food and interesting salads. Now these are two of my favourite things so it was the prefect excuse to combine the two and come up with a recipe for a Mexican Beef Salad with salsa. And it’s delicious! The salad feels a bit like you are […]
Healthy Vietnamese Pork Salad
I’ve been playing around with a variety of salads of late thanks to a long and hot summer. Light fresh and healthy have been key, and this Healthy Vietnamese Pork Salad has been a hit. Its easy to make, packed full of flavour and texture and ridiculously healthy to boot. I love it! To be […]
Haloumi and Greens Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette
I’m starting to think that this Haloumi and Greens Salad with Pesto Vinaigrette might just be my new favourite thing. It’s one of those dishes that is fantastic in its simplicity. It combines so many of my favourite things to eat – haloumi, pesto, macadamias and broccolini. It’s quick and easy to make. And it’s […]
Healthy Beef Chow Mein
Who knew there was such a thing as a Healthy Beef Chow Mein? I certainly didn’t! I think of loads of slippery noodles in a rich and slightly sweet sauce. Something a little bit naughty. But when I was asked to come up with a lighter version, I saw it as a bit of a […]
