Burnt aubergine veggie chilli

This warming aubergine chilli is low fat and 4 of your 5 a day. Serve up this smoky spiced supper with brown rice and all your favourite trimmings

Chicken gyros

Warm Salmon Salad with Watercress

Even though we suggest you serve this salad warm, it is equally delicious cold and makes a great left over lunch – if there are any leftovers at all. Tender, juicy salmon is just perfect with buttery potatoes and dill. The yogurt dressing is light but oh-so-creamy without being unhealthy. A super easy dinner that is beautiful to look at and eat!
