Salads

I love Asian flavours in my daily food, and I try to integrate as much as possible in my tiffin. This sesame and orange dressing is refreshing, citrusy and earthy from the sesame. This dressing is perfect accompaniment to all kinds of salads, but I am particular partial to a salad of lettuce, boiled eggs, baby corn, tomatoes, cucumber and onions. And to round it off, I add a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds on top for added crunch!

This dressing can easily be made ahead of time in an airtight container and stored in the fridge for a few days.

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!
