In my favourite place with my favourite food after a very hot and sticky commute from London Bridge 🥵 But I so love these longs summer evenings where I can sit peacefully in my Moroccan inspired garden retreat, beneath the flawless blue sky and listen to the gentle sounds of nature 💚

Here’s the recipe for my Summer Garden Salad:

INGREDIENTS

100g sweetcorn
1 cucumber
2 celery sticks
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 apple
100 Greek feta
Handful of baby spinach leaves
Course black pepper
Chiili flakes (optional)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil

Simply chop up the vegetables and feta however you like, except the spinach and sweetcorn. Mix all the vegetables and feta together. Add in the pepper and chilli flakes, if using. Mix the olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl and then drizzle over and fold into the salad.

Simple and delicious. Use a ripened Alfonso Mango 🥭 instead of apple for a more exotic sweetness ❤️

Makes 4 generous servings.

My take on a healthy no-oil Tostada 😋

4 wholewheat tortilla wraps
1 cup basmati rice
Pinch of saffron
1/2 tsp salt
Choice of protein (mince, pulled chicken or plant based protein)
1 broccoli head + 1/2 tsp crushed chilli, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tbsp oil

How to make your Tostada:

1. Prepare your protein of choice and set aside.
2. Steam the broccoli. Mix in the oil, chilli flakes, cumin and salt and stir-fry for 7 mins at 180 degrees C. Set to one side.
2. Rinse the rice and place in 1.5 cups of boiling water with 1/2 tsp salt, a pinch of good quality saffron and 2 tblsp oil. Bring to boil, cover tightly and cook on low for 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, place a tortilla in a deep microwaveable dish and press down into a bowl-like shape. Cook on high (based on 900W) for 3.5 mins. Allow to stand for 30 secs before removing. Repeat for all the tortillas. Feel free to use an air fryer for the step if you prefer.
3. To build your Tostada, fill the tortilla with 1/3rd of protein, rice and broccoli. Top with seasoning or sauces of your choice and enjoy!
