Ingredients
- watermelon
- oranges
- apples
(all in equal amounts) - yoghurt
- mint
- French vanilla ice cream
Cut up into roughly equal chunks and mix in a bowl. Drizzle yoghurt (we sweetened ours with a pinch of icing sugar) over, then garnish with mint. Serve with scoop/s of ice cream. Devour.
Roast veggie salad with yoghurt dressing
Here’s a stripped down version of a recipe from Dish magazine.
Ingredients
- half an eggplant
- a roughly equal amount of courgettes
- half an onion (ideally red but I went with white)
- yoghurt
- a dash of lemon juice
- coriander
- minced garlic
Roast veggies until soft. Blend some yoghurt with a dash of lemon juice, minced garlic and coriander, adjusting to taste. Serve over the veggies!
Tuna, egg and veggie salad
And another Dish-inspired one. Super easy my way!
Ingredients
- can of tuna
- two eggs
- a couple of tomatoes
- a small courgette
- some coriander
- a dash of red wine vinegar
- a dash of olive oil
- garlic salt
- pepper
Grill tomatoes and courgettes (I chunked the tomato but went for long slices of courgette). Then toss everything together. Done!
Bacon and avocado salad
- one avocado
- two bacon slices
- a couple of tomatoes
- a handful of lettuce
- some cucumber slices
- garlic salt
- pepper
Grill bacon. Cut everything else up and toss together!
- can of chickpeas
- a couple of tomatoes
- one spring onion
- a quarter of a cucumber
- garlic salt
- olive oil
- lemon juice
Dice and mix all the veggies. Drizzle over a squeeze of lemon juice and olive oil. Yum.
Wow! Those pictures made me salivate all over my coffee. I need to start eating healthier. I might use some of those recepies!
These salads look so delicious. I really want to try the avocado and bacon one (two of my fave foods!).
YUUUM
Yum this all looks so good!
Yeah the avocado bacon salad is catching my eye too. I don’t eat enough salads, but this is good inspiration. Maybe later today when I stop by the grocery store I’ll take a cue from you on the salad idea. Which one was your favorite?
Hmm, good question! Anything with ice cream always wins in my book 🙂 But seriously, probably the roasted salad – roast veggies are my absolute fave.
The bacon and avocado salad looks incredible! I’ll definitely have to give that a try.
