Dressings

Mango, lime and chilli dressing

I think this one goes well with seafood, like a prawn salad, but you use for anything!

Serves 4-6

Ingredients
½ cup diced mango
¼ cup of olive oil
1 heaped tsp Dijon mustard
Juice of 1 lime
1 red chilli, or to taste- take the seeds out if you don’t want it too hot!

I wanted it a little more acidic so I also added 2-3 tsp apple cider vinegar

Method

Blend up in a food processor or similar, I used a ninja blender.



Mint and lemon dressing

I think this goes well with lamb, but you can use for anything!

Serves 4-6

Ingredients
¼ bunch of mint leaves
1 heaped tsp Dijon mustard
Juice of one lemon
¼ cup of olive oil
Salt

Method
Blitz up, if you need more acid I like to add a little apple cider vinegar.



Oregano and lemon vinaigrette
Great with a greek salad!

Serves 4-6

Ingredients
3 tsp lemon juice
3 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove of crushed garlic
2 tbsp oregano leaves
1 tsp honey
3-4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Method
Blitz everything in a food processor for a few seconds. Store any leftovers in the fridge. It does harden a little in the fridge so you just need to leave out on the bench before use.



Caesar Dressing

Ingredients
1 cup of mayonnaise
1 small garlic clove
1-2 anchovy fillets
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Method
Blend up in a food processor, or finely chop everything by hand and mix together.

Tri coloured slaw with prawns, goat’s cheese, and basil and lemon dressing



Serves 4

You could use a dry coleslaw mix (without dressing) from the supermarket to make it quicker.

Ingredients

200g grams each of pumpkin, beetroot and green cabbage, beetroot and pumpkin peeled and grated, cabbage finely sliced. It’s easier to use the 2 attachments on a food processor
400g raw green prawns
100g goats cheese or other feta, you can leave out if you want dairy free
1 bunch of broccolini ends trimmed, you can use a small head of broccoli

Basil dressing

15 g basil leaves about 1 cup loosely packed
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp extra virgin/avocado oil

Method for dressing

Blend altogether in food processor or similar, season with salt.

Method for prawns

Put the broccolini in a steamer or pot of boiling water. Put a large pan on with  1 tbsp ghee/coconut oil, when hot stir fry your prawns for about a minute, they will turn pink and will be white all the way through. They cook very quickly. Season with salt and pepper. You can either mix the dressing through your slaw, or you can drizzle over the top of your prawns. To serve this put your slaw down, then your cooked prawns, scatter over your cheese, broccolini on the side.
