Simple Salads

Today’s post is a few simple ideas for quick salads to make and keep in the fridge. Sometimes we just need some inspiration to make a change!!

Spicy Red Lentil and Tomato Soup with Kidney Beans

This is a lovely, thick soup that is perfect for dipping bread into !!

Lentils are a brilliant source of fibre, as well as copper, manganese, zinc and vitamin B1, B5 and B6. Red lentils are great for soups, or daals, as when cooked they form a thick mush. This is super for a soup base, especially for those of you who are gluten free and want to avoid adding flour to thicken up your soup!

Lentil Stew topped with Turmeric and Paprika Sweet Potato Mash

Looking for a warming Winter meal? This recipe is perfect for cold evenings by the fire, it is satisfying, full of flavour, and even the colours will help you feel more cosy in front of  the fire!

Red Lentil Soup

Lunch today was a red lentil soup which was inspired by recipe on A Cedar Spoon (which I found on Pinterest…where else!) As usual I didn’t have ALL the right ingredients so I made some slight adjustments here and there.

This soup is creamy and so warming, perfect for a cold day or just some comfort food! It also has a great flavour and colour.
