This easy carrot and salt & pepper cashews salad is a great mix of crunchy, zesty, tangy, and spicy. Perfect on its own or as a great addition to any barbecue. It is bursting with texture and flavour yet dead easy to prepare and super delicious and nutritious.
I used a mixture of white, deep red and purple heirloom carrots. If they aren't readily available, use regular orange carrots instead. You can either grate them or peel lengthwise into long ribbons for an even more appealing presentation. The fresh herby salsa verde really lifts the carrots to a new level.

A hint of mango adds a surprising subtle sweetness to this simple tomato soup. The soup is great served warm or chilled. I topped the soup with tender blanched green asparagus tips for a light and refreshing meal, but you can pair it with crispy croutons or baguette. For best result, use the ripe tomatoes and mango.

The sweetness from roasting the carrots and red onion paired with a delicious tangy lemon vinaigrette is just amazing. Tossed with some mild purple Belgian endives, crunchy toasted pumpkin seeds and sweet pomegranate seeds, creating a dish that will excite the palate, please the eye and leave you wanting more. If you can't find heirloom carrots, regular orange variety works just as fine.

Bitter endives, distinctly citrusy kumquats, sweet and sour pomegranate and briny Feta form the basis of this salad full of intense flavours. A fabulous salad or light lunch. Besides Feta, the endives pairs really well with blue cheese too.
The bitter substances in Belgian endives stimulate the production of bile in the liver and digestion, especially of fats. They also prevent cravings by curbing the appetite.

Lupin (aka lupine or lupini) are a legume enjoyed in the Mediterranean region and they’re also very well known in Middle Eastern countries like Jordan and Egypt. They are high in protein, fibre, potassium, magnesium and many other minerals and vitamins. Around the same size as fava beans, these yellow legumes have a sweet, nutty flavor and firm, hearty texture. They are a nutritional powerhouse with nearly double the amount of protein that's in chickpeas.
Discover the delights of lupin beans in this colourful, nourishing salad. High in protein, lupin beans and boiled eggs together, make this meal deliciously healthy and filling. You can add or substitute other beans or legumes such as white beans, chickpeas, and French lentils, but keep the boiled eggs for nutritional balance.

This vibrant and flavuorful salad is pretty straightforward to make - trim and blanch the snow peas until al dente. Drain and refresh in cold water. Toss with a tangy, creamy, and extremely addictive goat cheese dressing. You can use sugar snap peas instead or a mixture of two. Not a fan of bacon? Use nuts or extra goat cheese as the topping.

Eggplants or aubergines are incredibly versatile and one of few vegetables that I can enjoy without having stomach issues. This warm Middle Eastern eggplant salad on a bed of tahini-yoghurt is great with roasted meat or poultry, especially if they are beautifully charred. Zhoug is a popular Middle Eastern condiment made with fresh cilantro, jalapeños, cumin and garlic. Instead of this spicy cilantro-based sauce, you can also drizzle the roasted eggplants with a little pomegranate molasses. The tahini yoghurt and zhoug can be prepared one day ahead.
