Feel like Italian? Make yourself a Panzanella
Panzanella is one of the most famous Italian salads, originally a dish from the 'poor man's kitchen' made with stale bread, ripe tomatoes and other leftovers. This salad is easy to combine with other dishes and can be enjoyed as a starter or a light meal on its own.


Need kid-friendly? Done.
These rainbow salad wraps are delicous and serve as an easy lunch on the go or as a family fun dinner. You can roll almost every vegetable in this wrap, choose in season vegetables, they are in most cases cheaper than other vegetables on the produce isle.

Carrot salad with ginger, coriander and fresh squeezed lime juice. Lovely to eat it on its own for lunch or as a healthy side. Fresh, simple, enjoyable!

Looking for a lunch salad?
This lentil salad with tomato and cottage cheese is perfect at work as it is ready in an instant, full of flavour and vitality. Great for a lunch time boost which helps prevent those afternoon cravings for 'the not so good for you' snacks.

Potato salad, anyone?
