Salad info

There's nothing like a fresh salad to start a meal or for a lighter bite. This collection of salad recipes from Great British Chefs should provide a variety of ideas for a pretty plate, from light, healthy salad recipes to more substantial dishes perfect for dinner.

A beautifully presented salad as a starter or main meal can be a great way to impress your guests without requiring too much time in the kitchen, and this collection features an array of salads to suit every taste. From Tom Aiken's take on a classic Caesar salad, to Marcello Tully's summery Hot salmon salad, and Nigel Mendham's indulgent Chicken salad recipe, served with creamy avocado and Gorgonzola, there are plenty of ideas for light lunches, starters and sides.

Simon Hulstone’s glorious Golden beetroot salad recipe makes a wonderful vegetarian starter, or for a fresh tasting, simple dish try Alfred Prasad’s healthy Prawn salad recipe. Greg Malouf’s exquisitely presented Salad Shirazi is garnished with edible flowers, while Robert Thompson’s Mozzarella salad combines the flavours of mint, lemon, pea and broad beans in the perfect summer plate.
