Lentil Mango Salad with Mango Coconut Lime Chicken

Lentil Mango Salad with Mango Coconut Lime Chicken

Lots of layers of flavour make this Lentil Mango Salad with Mango Coconut Lime Chicken probably my favourite summer salad of the year. Coconut-Lime-Mango dressing is used both as marinade for the super flavourful chicken and dressing for the salad. Which comes in form of coleslaw and added toppings to complete the tropical profile. Lentils boiled in aromatic broth, finished with more lime and coconut add more protein and fibre, plus a delicious bite. Peppers and fresh mango lend sweetness and absolutely addictive maple-lime baked coconut chips crown the whole thing.

Chinese Duck Pancake Salad with Plum Dressing

Chinese Duck Pancake Salad with Plum Dressing

This Chinese Duck Pancake Salad with Plum Dressing is such an easy recipe! We use a small cheat here, by getting a pack of Chinese Duck Pancakes including the half duck we just need to heat up. This gives a super crispy, perfectly seasoned duck, without all the hassle. After that, it’s a little chopping of crunchy cucumber, spring onions, carrots, and peppers. And some quick destoning and boiling plums with very few extra ingredients, to make a fabulous and very low calorie dressing. More griddled plums go on the salad too, for an extra fruity kick.

Strawberry Black Pudding Salad

Strawberry Black Pudding Salad

This unusual combination was inspired by a Strawberry Black Pudding salad I had years ago in a tiny restaurant in Clonakilty, right beside the butcher who makes the famous Clonakilty Black Pudding, which is arguably the best you’ll find anywhere in Ireland. With oats that get crunchy when frying and its fantastic depth of flavour. Together with strawberries, each mouthful tastes like a party in your mouth, umami, sweet and fruity, crunch and juiciness creating a very more-ish mix. It also is incredibly quick to prepare, with just a few ingredients, while giving you a great calorie vs volume ratio for weight loss and will impress your guests.
