Have you tasted the fabulous combination of roasted sweet potatoes, cauliflower and chickpeas before? Roasting veggies brings out the best in them. It’s also a quick and easy cooking methods, as the oven does most of the work. The cauliflower gets a lovely nutty taste, and the natural sweetness of onions and sweet potatoes is absolutely delicious when roasted. And you know I am the cumin queen so that’s why my favourite spice is used in this recipe and it pairs beautifully with the potatoes, cauliflower and chickpeas. The herby yoghurt sauce rounds this veggie main or side dish off perfectly!

This cooked mustard dressing is a healthier alternative to mayonnaise and is also delicious with other salads, potatoes, in a slaw, or drizzled over lightly cooked green beans. In this recipe the dressing is divine over the steamed broccoli, sweet, crisp apples and crunchy toasted sunflower seeds. This is a salad like no other!

This recipe is such a simple combination of ingredients resulting in a refreshing salad that can be served with any meal. Replace the feta cheese for torn bocconcini balls (mozzarella cheese) and the origanum for fresh basil leaves for a classic Italian Caprese salad.

Fresh fruit in a salad? Yes, please! Seasonal fruit like grapes is more versatile than just as a fruit salad or a snack. The natural sweetness of the fruit combines well with a protein, like chicken. Use fruit as a delicious and healthy ingredient in many creative ways like in this salad. The hint of spiciness in the dressing is so good with the grapes, broccoli and juicy chicken.
