Salad daze

Summer has come to Canberra! We seem to have skipped spring this year and bowled right into summer. Now, I'm not a huge fan of summer  I actually prefer cold weather to hot  but one thing I always look forward to is the greater variety of fresh veges you can get at this time of year. We try to eat local, seasonal foods all year round, and that means adjusting our menu to fit in with whatever's available at the local organic shop. Anyway, to cut a long story short, salad season has arrived!

You may like to try some of these fabulous flavour combinations:

Spicy salmon and lychee salad
Tandoori tofu salad
Rocket, cucumber, tomato and haloumi salad
Chunky avocado salsa
Crispy bacon salad
Rocket, avocado, pear, blue cheese and pecan salad
Goat's cheese salad with croutons
Pumpkin, feta and pine nut salad

Many of these recipes feature nuts, and here are some handy tips on how you can easily and quickly roast them.

Enjoy ...
