I decided to make these three easy and delicious summer salads for you, although it feels like summer may never actually arrive here in the UK! It's been shocking weather here for months. Each of the salads can be customised easily, and are great options to take to a BBQ or pot luck. All are packed with incredible flavours and textures; further proof that a salad doesn't have to mean limp lettuce!

Welcome to my kitchen (lab?)
My channel is you watching the results of my 2am thoughts of “I wonder what would happen if I put A with B?” The answers lean heavily towards cake, and my ongoing quest to find a good meat substitute. I’m a vegan that loves animal products, but hates what’s involved; so I’ve dived headfirst into a rabbit hole of different plant-based textures and flavours. These are often the 1st time that I’ve tried a recipe, and I’ll talk you through why I’m using the ingredients and what I think happened when things go wrong.
Grab a vessel of whatever makes you happy and enjoy, but be warned; it’s messy here sometimes!
