Carrot and radish rice salad with tofu dressing

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Brown rice tossed with crisp vegetables and fresh and dried fruit makes this unusual side salad. The almost fat-free dressing is based on tofu, a curd made from soya beans, which gives it a grainy texture similar to the delicious Greek dip, hummus. For a smoother mayonnaise-like texture, use silken tofu.

Chickpea and pitta salad

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

This is based on fattoush, the popular salad enjoyed in the Lebanon and Syria, and it makes a satisfying main dish. It's important to grill the pitta bread until it is really crisp and golden or it will quickly become soggy when mixed with the other ingredients. The dressing adds the distinctive flavours of olives, anchovy and garlic.

Feta and couscous salad

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Apart from being an excellent source of starchy carbohydrate, couscous is a great background for other ingredients. In this lunch salad, both raw and lightly steamed vegetables are added to the couscous together with toasted almonds, fresh mint and creamy feta cheese. A touch of chilli gives extra bite to the dressing.
