With warmer weather on the horizon, our research<\/a> shows that a quarter of us will opt for lighter dishes, such as summer salads.\u00a0We’re excited to announce that Chef Louisa has created 4 delicious, healthy summer salads for the Mindful Chef menu to run alongside our existing weekly recipes. Meaning you can now choose from 16 options every week!<\/p>\n

Forget the stereotype that all salads are ‘bland’ and will leave you hungry; our 4 tasty salads make a substantial dinner, proving they can be both delicious and filling.<\/p>\n

These new speedy salad recipes can all be made in under 20 minutes, with minimal prep, and are packed with nutritious, seasonal produce to help you look and feel your best.<\/p>\n

1. Harissa chicken, cucumber ribbons and orange<\/strong><\/h3>\n

526 calories \u2022 42g carbs \u2022 20g fat \u2022 50g protein<\/p>\n

\"harissa<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve served a delicious harissa spiced chicken breast with juicy fresh orange slices and hydrating cucumber ribbons. Our vibrant radishes, grown by Peewit Produce in Worcestershire, add a peppery flavour and crunchy texture; but the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance is the moreish turmeric, lemon and coconut drizzle, which adds an anti-inflammatory boost.<\/p>\n

2. Warm red pesto beans, artichokes and rocket<\/strong><\/h3>\n

457 calories \u2022 39g carbs \u2022 28g fat \u2022 14g protein | Vegan<\/p>\n

\"Warm<\/a><\/p>\n

This warm and satisfying summer salad is bursting with Mediterranean flavours from red pesto coated butter beans, sundried tomatoes and fibre-packed artichoke hearts. The rocket, from ValeFresco<\/a>\u00a0our partner farm in the Cotswolds, adds a peppery punch to this salad, whilst slices of creamy avocado and a scattering of pumpkin seeds provide omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.<\/p>\n

3. Zingy salmon, heritage tomatoes and mangetout<\/h3>\n

503 calories \u2022 45g carbs \u2022 21g fat \u2022 37g protein<\/p>\n

\"Zingy<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve baked Scottish salmon with an Asian-style dressing of grated ginger, tamari, honey, chilli and lime, served on a bed of brown rice with crisp mangetout and juicy heritage cherry tomatoes.\u00a0Our heritage tomatoes, like our rocket, are grown by Valefresco<\/a> in the Cotswolds. Rich in vitamin C and lycopene, heritage tomatoes are famous for their unique taste, colour and health benefits. The addition of olive oil in this recipe enhances absorption of antioxidant lycopene.<\/p>\n

4. Spiced steak fajita salad, peppers and avocado<\/strong><\/h3>\n

560 calories \u2022 39g carbs \u2022 30g fat \u2022 38g protein<\/p>\n

\"spiced<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve spiced flat iron steak with ground cumin, smoked paprika and garlic for our fajita-inspired salad, served alongside roasted red peppers, creamy avocado and baby spinach, a nutritional powerhouse. The grass-fed beef comes from award-winning butchers Farmison<\/a>, based in the Yorkshire Dales.<\/p>\n
