It can be easy to become stuck in a rut with weekly lunches – and I personally think there’s nothing worse than eating a boring, bland or soggy salad! Your meals should energise, nourish and inspire you – they should be quick to put together and leave you feeling satisfied.
I love the versatility of salads, and how easily they can be adapted to incorporate your favourite protein. Once you learn how to incorporate satiating bases (rice, quinoa) with your favourite veggies and seeds/nuts for texture – it becomes so easy!
I’ve put together 4 of my favourite salads to weave into your week. These can be easily meal prepped – and dressed upon eating for freshness.
Let me know which one is your favourite!

Mediterranean Pasta Salad
This is a budget-friendly, easy to prepare option bursting with micronutrients, vibrant colours and diverse textures. Savour classic pasta salad flavours alongside chickpea pasta for added protein and nourishment!
Quinoa & Halloumi Salad
My go-to salad for any season. Imagine heavenly flavours of roasted sweet potato, bursting pomegranate and crispy halloumi atop a bed of high-fibre quinoa, topped with a zesty dressing and fresh herbs. A real show-stopper with dinner guests!
Creamy Chopped Chicken Salad
Need a meal that’s ready in just 10 minutes? Enjoy a chopped salad, brimming with tender chicken bites and a crunchy blend of cos lettuce, celery, cucumber and corn. Finish with a drizzle of our creamy, Dijon and lemon dressing.
Pearl Couscous & Roasted Vegetable Salad
This is a meal-prep star. Savour roasted veggies atop a bed of fluffy couscous garnished with my signature crunchy ‘salad sprinkle’. Customise with your choice of protein – I love shredded chicken, boiled eggs or chickpeas.
