Make the best of cherry season with this vibrant herby salad with a simple tangy lemon dressing. Instead of lettuce, I used a lot of herbs as the base with plump, juicy, in-season cherries, resulting a bright and zesty salad that you can enjoy as a light lunch paired with some homemade bread or as a side to go with some grilled meat. Besides mint, parsley and celery used in this recipe, cilantro, basil, spring onions, chives, and arugula are all great too.

This crunchy and easy red Belgian endive salad with cantaloupe and baby spinach is made extra special by using umami-packed anchoy in the dressing! The delicately bitter and crispy bite of red Belgian endive leaves balances perfectly with the juicy sweetness of cantaloupe, while toasted walnuts add a satisfying, earthy crunch. It’s perfect for a starter or light lunch. Use radicchio or even white Belgian endives if you can’t find the red one.

For a fresh, healthy and fulfilling meal the family is sure to love, serve this pan-seared chia-crusted salmon over a gluten free buckwheat tomato salad that's been tossed with a mild, tangy-sweet white balsamic dressing.  Chia seeds are a great alternative to bread crumb crusts for those on a gluten free diet. If you are going keto, then serve the salmon with some greens.

Are you looking for a quick salad that is fresh, delicious and full of flavour? Then this frisée salad with persimmon and goat cheese is just right for you. This salad not only tastes great, it also looks pretty. Frisée lettuce can be stacked attractively on a plate thanks to its curly, frizzy texture. The tangy, earthy flavour of goat cheese provides a delightful contrast to the sweet and crunchy texture of ripe persimmons while the apple cider vinegar dressing emphasises the fruity sweetness. I prefer the goat cheese as it is, but you can try brushing the goat cheese rounds with 1-2 teaspoons of honey and roast at 200C/400F for 8-10 minutes.

A refreshing and vibrant salad combining crunchy carrots, peppery arugula, and juicy oranges is so versatile and can be enjoyed all year round. Use young and organic carrots if possible.
The savory granola with walnuts, seeds, and ras el hanout is full of wonderful flavours and add a delicious crunch to this Moroccan carrot salad. I strongly recommend you to double the granola and save some for roasted vegetables, cheese, soups or simply as a snack. Store in an air-tight jar in room temperature for up to a month.

Looking for a healthy recipe idea with lots of bitter compounds? This Belgian endive and pomegranate salad is a true celebration of flavours and textures. The bitterness of the Belgian endive is perfectly balanced by the sweet and sour pomegranate seeds, and crispy bacon adds a great texture and depth of flavour, making this dish an elegant and refreshing experience.
Belgian endive, aka witloof (meaning ‘white leaf'), sometimes referred to as ‘white gold', leads a shadowy existence, in the truest sense of the word. On the one hand, Belgian endive grows in the dark to control its colour and to achieve the desirable flavour, and on the other hand, it is often overlooked in the vegetable section. Yet it is a wonderful winter vegetable that can be prepared in many different ways and is very healthy. Endive is nutritious and rich in fiber. It is a good source of potassium and calcium and vitamins A, B, C and E, and very low in calories.

You can swap endive or escarole for the frisée lettuce, blue cheese or feta for Parmesan, pancetta for bacon, and candied walnuts or hazelnuts for chestnuts.

Golden crispy smashed potatoes, crunchy red Belgian endives with a pleasant bitterness, and creamy Greek yoghurt dip / sauce—a simple yet tantalizing combination that is bursting in colour, texture and flavour while maintaining an excellent nutrient balance for an elevated home-cooked meal. For smashed potatoes, you want to use those baby-sized waxy potatoes, about the size of a golf ball, with soft and thin skin, red and yellow are both fine.

Want to try a starter that's different from the usual salad? How about this fruity and fresh grapefruit carpaccio with fennel tartare and roasted pistachios on top? Bring it on! This recipe practically made itself in around fifteen minutes before you could dig right in. It’s vibrante, refreshing and delicious. I used pink grapefruit, but blood orange would be another great substitute.

This refreshing and crunchy carpaccio variation with kohlrabi and apples scores points thanks to its fresh ingredients and a nutty, earthy Styrian pumpkin seed oil vinaigrette. Toasted pepitas and parsley make great toppings. Easy and delicious!
Since pumpkin seed oil is rather thick, you can use 1-2 tablespoons water or broth to dilute the dressing. You can also make this into a simple salad by cutting kohlrabi and apple into sticks, which then tossed with the dressing.

Cooked and refined with vegetables and herbs, buckwheat is transformed into a delicious salad that tastes fresh, aromatic, spicy and light – simply authentic Mediterranean. The buckwheat salad is also easy to prepare in advance. It tastes even better when left to marinate for a while. Add the herbs and cherry tomatoes just before serving. If desired, throw in some toasted nuts for extra crunch.
Buckwheat is considered a healthy alternative to wheat, although it has nothing in common with wheat – quite the contrary. It is a knotweed plant and belongs to the pseudo-cereals, which are rich in fibre and nutrients.
