Summer salads and sides

Keep things fresh this summer with our easy salads and sides. These low-effort, high-flavour recipes are all packed with seasonal produce.

Salads are perfect for lunch or supper on sultry summer days. Why swelter at the stove? Instead, throw together a colourful Cos wedge salad, elegant courgette, blackcurrant and feta salad or peach caprese.

Our versatile summer sides are perfect for barbecues, picnics and other gatherings. Everyone loves a retro pasta salad (try this simple runner bean one to use up a glut). Potato salads are a perennial crowd-pleaser. Try verdant green potato salad packed with peas and broccoli, or elevate this spud dish into something special with Jersey royals and brown crab.

Throw in dips, healthy bean dishes, simple tapas and colourful barbecue sides and you’ve got the recipe for a delicious summer.
