Fresh Vegetarian Summer Salads

When the weather is hot, sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the barbecue and try something cool and fresh. We’d like to share a few recipes we use to make vegetarian and vegan summer salads for lunch in the office.

mushroom and cashew nut salad

Mushroom and Cashew Snack

Ideal for whipping up the night before, this lunchtime snack goes perfectly with brown rye crispbread. Stir fry some large sliced mushrooms, crushed garlic and cashew nuts in toasted sesame oil. Delicious hot or cold (chilled is better for the summer months), it’s tasty, healthy and also vegan!

Light Tomato Salad

A colourful and tasty salad, this one doesn’t require any cooking! Place baby spinach, plum tomatoes, pitted black olives, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds together in a salad bowl and toss with hemp oil. Another vegan treat.

mushroom risotto

Risotto Munch

If you ever find yourself with too much risotto, don’t bin it – make an amazing salad instead. This one is made with leftover mushroom risotto, simply add some delicious pine nuts, pitted black olives and some sticks of pitta bread – delish!

A summer favourite and the perfect addition to a picnic or barbecue – simply mix cooked and chopped potatoes with mayonnaise and freshly chopped chives.
