I have to admit, I love a bundle deal. 'Buy one get one free'? Yes please. 'Three for two'? Go on then. Despite often falling for such base marketing tactics, I'm aware how bad a habit stockpiling food can be. We're sold more and more of everything for less.

A word in your ear regarding tossing. As I lay on the hot grass at Leon founder Henry Dimbleby’s barbeque at this year’s Big Chill, I was reminded of the importance of tossing a good salad. Whoever Henry’s accomplice was knew a thing about it too..

Yet another killer supper from Raph last night after yet another long day. Some may call this a stir fry but there were no noodles nor rice so I think it passes as a man salad. A selection of crisp vegetables, water chestnuts and sunflower seeds were marinated in 'the.

Time to explain, briefly, the recent glut of carb-free recipes here at Salad Club: I try to follow the GI diet wherever possible which means no refined starchy carbohydrates like bread, pasta, potatoes, sugar and, very sadly, beer. As you may have guessed, however, I very rarely deprive myself of.

I used to think a boiled egg was worthless without toasted, buttered soldiers but, luckily, I was wrong. I tried this recipe from Jamie at Home at the weekend and it was incredible. Jamie uses pancetta but I went for smoked streaky bacon instead.  Wrap one rasher around.

Grill your strips of chicken breast and finely sliced lengths of courgette at the same time, at separate ends of the rack, both with a little black pepper and lemon juice to stop them from sticking. Meanwhile, arrange some mixed salad leaves (with some variation in texture, colour and taste), adding.

I realise Rosie's delivered two tuna salads in the last week, but I've only recently got over my fear of stinking, school time, wet-with-mayonnaise-white-bread tuna sandwiches. This is as much of a meat salad as it is fish, more so for having seared the tuna a little longer. For the dressing, grate.
