A hearty salad all year round. My parents are Czech with German ancestry. I have fond memories growing up with my mum’s never-ending bowl of potato salad. She made this salad often during summer and served it cold as an accompaniment during Christmas dinners or when we had BBQs. Mum would often slave away for…

Craving fresh, healthy, delicious salads? Look no further. Salads don’t have to be a side dish, they also make wonderful main meals too. It’s always a challenge to get kids to eat salad. While I’m blessed with two children who love eating salads I found the key is to ensure your salad is packed with variety and full of flavour. Whip up a variety of salads with our collection of salad recipes your entire family will enjoy.
Chickpea Salad
Full of crunch, colour & flavour. I love salads all year round. I mean, why limit salads just to the warmer days of the year? sometimes you just need to balance out the heavy stews, casseroles and pastas you have during winter with something lighter. What I love about many salads is the chance for…
Nicoise Salad
Nicoise is the best salad… ever! I can’t remember when was the first time I ever tried a Nicoise Salad. I do remember however that this was my go-to lunch of choice from a cafe near one of my former jobs. It’s an amazing salad. I honestly can’t rate it enough. And lately, I’ve been…
Prosciutto, Avocado & Pear Salad
My favourite carb-free work lunch! Let me share with you a meal I often have made at work. It’s definitely one of my favourites – Prosciutto, Avocado & Pear Salad. Where I work in Sydney there are many cafes and eateries. The choice is often mind-bogglingly difficult. Lots of options for heavy meals such as…
Thai Bean Sprout Salad
Packing a flavour punch, this simple salad goes great as a side dish to any Thai or Vietnamese inspired meal.
Rocket Caprese Salad
This salad combines two Italian classics into one. It’s quick to make which means you can serve it even on the days you’re extremely time poor. Just make sure the ingredients are as fresh as possible otherwise you won’t get the full flavour explosion as you eat it.
Warm Winter Salad
Made with beetroot, pumpkin and baby spinach, this recipe is simple yet packed with flavour. By roasting both the beetroot and pumpkin you’re adding a richer flavour into the salad. Just because the weather gets colder doesn’t mean you still can’t enjoy a salad.
Bean Salad
A different kind of salad. I love some of the salads from my childhood. Mum would, of course, make the regular green leaf salad. She did, however, have a few other salads that were less common among her group friends. More often than not, it was these salads she found perfect to pull out when entertaining….
