Salads so good, you’ll almost forget the mains

Christmas lunch, Boxing Day barbies and the days that blur together after…
Let’s be honest, it’s all just one long eating session. The hero might be that perfectly cooked New Zealand beef or lamb on the grill, but the sides deserve their moment too. From zesty salads to crunchy, colourful creations, these salads and sides bring the freshness, balance and big flavour your summer spread needs. Cook once, feast for days and make the most of every sunny bite.

Radish, cucumber and tomato salad

Crunch, colour and serious refreshment. This salad’s basically summer in a bowl. It’s light, bright and impossible to stop eating. Perfect beside the barbecue or straight from the fridge when you “test” it for seasoning for the fifth time.

Crunchy bean and asparagus salad

Beans and asparagus just called, it turns out they make quite the power couple. Crisp, snappy and dressed to impress, this one’s here to wake up your plate. Warning: you’ll want seconds before you’ve finished firsts.

Broccoli and cranberry salad

Broccoli’s glow-up era is here. Sweet cranberries, creamy dressing and that perfect crunch make this salad an unexpected show-off. Even the kids will ask for more, we promise!

Mandarin, carrot and chickpea salad

Piquant, crunchy and just the right amount of chaos in a bowl. Sweet mandarins meet earthy chickpeas for a salad that’s equal parts sunshine and substance. The kind of dish that outshines the mains, quietly.

Fresh herb salad

Raid your herb garden and throw this on the table! A hit of lemon and you have a whole lot of “wow, that’s good.” It’s the salad equivalent of a summer breeze.

Spicy smashed cucumber salad

Cool cucumbers, fiery spice and salty feta, it’s the kind of flavour we fully support. Crunchy, creamy and outrageously refreshing, this salad knows how to make an entrance. Keep it close for every barbecue this summer.

Carrot, almond and raisin salad

Carrots get their main-character moment here. Sweet, nutty and a little nostalgic, this salad hits that perfect mix of classic and cool. You’ll want to make extra, someone always “checks” the bowl too often.

Celery waldorf salad

A classic is a classic for a reason and this one gets the ultimate glow up. Crisp celery, sweet apple and crunchy walnuts bring the perfect mix of fresh and fancy. It’s retro, like your gran’s salad, but better dressed.
