Garden Kale Salad Bowl
This delicious easy salad bowl was made with a few different varieties of fresh home grown garden kale. Kale is so super nourishing and I love the vibrant green colour of the leaves. My favourite way to eat kale is in a delicious green smoothie but I am also trying to eat and create more salads this summer so I created this delicious kale and salmon salad bowl. I really enjoy a huge bowl of fresh greens for dinner its such a light but filling evening meal. The quinoa in this dish adds a delicious nutty taste to the kale and an extra protein boost too.

Honey Mustard Salmon Salad
Hey everyone! It was so warm yesterday I really fancied a cold salad so I created this delicious salmon salad with a honey mustard dressing. It was served slightly warm and was soooo delicious. You could also have served it up cold if you wanted to.
I used fresh scottish salmon, wild salamon would be best but its quite tricky to get here. The potatoes were boiled then fried in a little butter and the salad was dressed with a simple dressing of yuzu mustard and raw honey. You could use any honey and plain mustard if you wish. It was so delicious!
The yuzu mustard was gifted to me from one of my favourite suppliers of wasabi and yuzu products. I’m just about to put another order in for their products but please check out their link below they are a lovely business and the products are soooo good! You can even grow your own wasabi plant! How cool!

Honey Mustard Salmon Salad
I’ve not added quantities to this recipe because it depends how many people you are feeding. Its very easy to follow without quantities and adjust to your needs. Please just make enough for your own requirements and mix and match the salad item quantities to suit your own tastes.

olive oil
lemon juice
whole salmon piece (we cooked enough for four)

Start by adding some sliced onions and garlic to a deep casserole dish and dot a little butter around the top. Place the salmon on top of the sliced onion and bake in the oven on a moderate heat for about 20-30minutes until cooked through.
Meanwhile boil the cubed potatoes for about 10 minutes and drain. Heat up a small amount of butter in a cast iron pan and fry the potatoes gently until cooked through.
Add the sliced cucumber, sliced radishes, sliced spring onions and sliced fennel to a bowl and a sprinkle of fresh herbs should you wish. Add in a splash of apple cider vinegar, a sqeueeze of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil. Adjust seasoning to your tastes
Serve up the potatoes as a base, spread some salad on top and flake the salmon on top of the salad. Serve the cooked onions from the base of the casserole dish on top of the salmon and finish with some extra chopped spring onions.

Mexican Veggie Wrap
I love Mexican food and especially easy mexican recipes! I made this really quick meal tonight for myself. You could mix the veggies up a bit and use your own favourite vegetables. It’s basically some garlic curly kale with mexican flavoured peppers and mushrooms with refried beans, homemade guacamole and homemade salsa. I love using shiitake mushrooms, not only are they super nutritious but they are really meaty and a good replacement for the meaty meals! 🙂 I’ve broken the recipe up as follows:
Salsa
Cherry tomatoes
Lime
Red onion finely chopped
Chilies (optional, I left out as the kids were eating it)
Coriander chopped
Salt & pepper
Chop up all of the cherry tomatoes, blend very lightly if you wish, add in a squeeze of lime, finely chopped red onion, sliced chilies, and chopped coriander and season to serve.
Guacamole
Avocado
Lime
A spoon of salsa
Coriander
Salt and Pepper
Mash up a whole avocado or more if your making a bigger quantity. Add in a squeeze of lime to your tastes, a spoon of the salsa, chopped coriander and season to serve.
Refried Beans
I used tinned mexican beans…mmm…you can make your own by mashing up pinto beans with stock garlic, water and seasonings.
Garlic Kale
Kale chopped
3 Garlic Cloves Chopped
Onion Chopped
Seasonings
Cook the kale up in a little water with the chopped garlic and onions and simmer until tender. Season to serve.
Mexican Spiced Peppers & Meaty Mushrooms
Red Peppers Sliced
Onions Sliced
Shiitake or other meaty mushrooms sliced
Mexican Spice Mix
Fry up the peppers, onions and mushrooms in a little olive oil or water and add the spice mix to your tastes. Season and serve.
