SERVES 2
1 zucchini (about 160g), cut into 1cm
thick slices 1 red onion, cut into thin
wedges 2 gem lettuces (about 160g),
cut into wedges Olive oil to grill the
vegies 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
Pinch or two of zaatar, or a pinch of
dried oregano and thyme 100g black
olives, pitted Zest of half a lemon
10 basil leaves 120g fresh buffalo
mozzarella, torn into pieces

1 Heat a grill pan to medium heat. Toss
the zucchini, red onion and gem lettuce
in olive oil. Place the vegies on a grill,
side by side – don’t layer them on top
of each other as they will sweat.

Farewell, limp leaves. These
make-in-advance salads are
vitamin-packed lunch heroes.

SERVES 3
50g wholemeal rice 25g red rice
½ lemon 6 sprigs flat parsley, stalks
finely and leaves roughly chopped
50g pistachio nuts, slightly crushed
6 sprigs coriander, stalks finely and
leaves roughly chopped 6 sprigs mint,
stalks finely and leaves roughly chopped
400g broad beans, picked from their
pods 4 tbs extra virgin olive oil

1 Slowly boil the rice in plenty of water
for about 30–35 mins or until just tender.
Drain and rinse under cold water to cool
and remove some of the starch.
2 Leave a bit longer to dry. Boil the lemon
with the rice for 10 mins before slicing.
3 Mix remaining ingredients together with
a good glug of olive oil and season with
salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
