Salads

This is a simple salad with a soya sauce based dressing that is versatile in its use. This soya dressing can be used as a dipping sauce as well. I keep the salad here basic, because I paired it with the Coconut Broth Ramen which is packed with flavour – but if you wish to make this salad as a standalone, go ahead and ‘meat’ it up with some grilled vegetables, grilled paneer or tofu, a boiled egg…

This salad is a great option for the summer time when salad greens are hard to find, particularly during the lockdown.

Grilled Pineapple Salad - Asian Style

This salad is the perfect side dish to a curry and rice or noodle meal. the freshness of sweet pineapples, gently grilled with Chinese 5 spice powder and chilies, a dash of soya sauce and lot's of fresh basil and spring onions - this dish is a burst of flavour and color on the table. i also like to make this dish much ahead to allow the flavours to really infuse!

Grilled Orange + Burrata Salad

Adapted from SIMPLE by Ottolenghi This was the recipe I made for the September 2025 Cookbook Club and whilst the original had grapes, my mother did not allow me them bc of the cold I had (almost 40 and still need the wrath of my mother!). Oranges work beautifully here and the marinade-cum-dressing with toasted fennel seeds are just a brilliant combination!
