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!

Mango Peanut Salad

Mango season means mangoes are innocently weaving its way into all our meals. This is a great way to add a fresh salad to any meal with a simple delicious dressing that complements the sweetness of mangoes beautifully. The crunch of peanuts and sesame seeds is just brilliant juxta positioning. For this salad I am partial to Badami Mango for it’s sturdiness and tartness. But alphonso works just as well. As do all other mangoes – it is the king of fruits for a reason!

Zucchini Carpaccio

This is one of the easiest, yet elegant looking salads that make it look like you’ve made a lot of efforts and perhaps toiled for hours in the kitchen. The zucchini must be sliced very thin – perhaps a mandolin works best in this case. Most people simply marinate these in a vinaigrette for a few hours and eat raw, however I had people over, who I didn’t want experiment so much with – and the safest route was to gently char grill on a hot pan with no oil, and then marinating overnight, ready for an early brunch. I put luscious bocconcini cheese over the salad, with lot’s of pomegranate arils for a pop of colour and there you go – a beauty to the eye!
