Salads

Salads can be a starter, side or star attraction, simple or complex, hot or cold. Here are videos of my favourite salad recipes from around the world.

Jamaican Avocado & Papaya Salad

In Jamaica, indigenous papaya is often combined with the avocado introduced centuries ago from South America. Paul Carmichael’s inspiration to add crunchy garlic-scented croutons take this combo from good to great!

Turkish Spoon Salad (Gavurdağ Salatası)

This basic salad is found on almost every Turkish menu and very popular to serve with kebaps. It’s a variation on what is known as chopped salad, shepherd’s salad, Greek salad (with feta added) or Shirazi salad in other parts of the Arabic world.

Thai Salad w/Tamarind Sesame Dressing

This deliciously simple salad, called yam pak in Thai, is all about the contrast of colours, textures and flavours. You ca toss almost any Asian fruits and vegetables through the tangy tamarind dressing.

What Our Cooks Say

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken – once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better ordering this than going out to restaurants as the recipes and food quality are amazing.

The whole Be Inspired experience has helped me love cooking again. I was sick of cooking the same old things - meal time is a lot brighter thanks to you Roberta.

I loved the Fresh & Easy Chicken – simple instructions, only a few ingredients and the time factor absolutely spot on. Then came the highlight, the taste, no compromise on the enjoyment of that meal! For the time poor Fresh & Easy hits the mark indeed.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce ... I’ve so enjoyed picking fresh leaves from the herb pots and loved listening to the chef's playlist while cooking. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to.

I am absolutely loving these boxes! There are Ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Loving Be Inspired! Felt like a kid opening up a Christmas present when the box arrived. Fresh herb pots are a nice touch!

Thanks so much for the Fresh & Easy Meal, it was excellent. We regularly get another meal kit delivery – your offering is vastly superior and a similar price, so big ticks.
