Light & luscious salads
Why not make a big bowl of salad for supper tonight?
SALAD ESSENTIALS:
SWEET & TANGY SALAD MIX
This medley of baby spinach, tatsoi leaves, coriander and mustard leaf works well with Asian-style recipes, not only in salads but also in hot noodle dishes – a handful added until slightly wilted.
DILL
These pretty feathery fronds add their distinctive flavour to potato and cucumber salads. Lovely in Greek-style egg and lemon dishes, both chicken and lamb.
FIOR DI LATTE
Buffalo mozzarella is the prima donna, but fresh and creamy fior di latte, made in the same way using full-cream cow’s milk, is perfect for everyday use.
MELONS
Melons say summer. Super sweet, pale or bright. Eat them as is, or spiked with ginger or chilli and a squeeze of lime.
PARMIGIANO REGGIANO
This is a cheese that’s worth the investment – a must in any good cook’s kitchen for pasta, pestos or salads. Chunks of it with warm roasted walnuts. Store the rinds to add to Italian vegetable soups for extra flavour.
SOMETHING CLASSIC
Each ingredient in a Caesar salad should have its own distinct appeal. The pungent cheese, the salty anchovies, the acidic thrill of lemon juice combine with the garlic and lettuce to create a variety of potent flavors that add up to one delectable dish.

SOMETHING NEW
An Asian-inspired salad of smoked trout, avocado, pickled ginger and sushi rice delivers full on flavour in every bite. The ponzu sauce adds a layer of sublime sweetness which compliments the trout beautifully.
