This is a light summery pasta salad that I love because the flavours go so well together. Lemon juice and a drizzle of good olive oil finish everything off nicely. It does taste best when chilled for 1 or 2 hours.

For this tasty dish, tender lamb fillet is quickly cooked under the grill, then cut up and mixed into a salad of bulghur wheat, red pepper, green olives and fresh mint. No oil is used to dress the salad, just fresh lemon and orange juices, so the fat content is kept healthily low.

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.

Citrus and spinach salad

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

In this colourful salad, the subtle flavour of spinach is enhanced by sweet melon and citrus, and Parma ham adds a savoury touch. You can prepare the dressing in advance, but only assemble the salad at the last moment to preserve as much vitamin C as possible. Serve with French or Italian bread as a light main dish.

Creamy chicken salad with ginger

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Reviews(1)

This creamy yet light chicken salad is ideal for serving as a luncheon or cold buffet dish. Basing the dressing on low-fat Greek-style yogurt mixed with reduced-fat mayonnaise makes it lower in fat than many other creamy dressings while still keeping the richness. Don't be tempted to omit the stem ginger – its subtle flavour makes all the difference.

When tomatoes are at their peak of sweetness, this salad is particularly delicious. It's eye-catching too if you make it with a mixture of different-coloured tomatoes. New varieties are coming on the market all the time – look for yellow cherry tomatoes as well as small red or yellow pear-shaped plum tomatoes.

Conjure up the colours and flavours of a tropical island with this unusual warm salad. The rich flavour of salmon is perfectly balanced by the gentle acidity of orange and the sweetness of mango and papaya. Serve with an accompanying salad of mixed long-grain and wild rice or bulghur wheat.

Japanese chicken salad

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

The ingredients for this salad are presented individually on a platter rather than being mixed together, with a simple tahini-based dressing so everyone can help themselves. Typical of Japanese cooking, there is a fairly small amount of meat per person, but plenty of raw vegetables to crunch through and fill you up.

Recipe by: Daylene

A tasty, nutrient-packed salad that can be eaten by itself or as a side. Makes a great lunch the next day too! Add more lemon juice and olive oil if you like your salad to have a lot of dressing. Use chickpeas in place of kidney beans if you prefer.
