A lovely apple vinaigrette makes the fresh beetroot, avocado and apples in this gorgeous salad come alive. This is a fun salad to serve guests arranged and layered on serving plates.

I bought a similar spread at the supermarket awhile back, and I thought that I could do it better and cheaper myself. I use tinned artichoke hearts, though you can buy fresh artichokes and cook them yourself.

A wonderful, light salsa recipe given to me by a friend who claims she can't cook! Serve with tortilla crisps, or as an accompaniment to chargrilled chicken.

Everybody loves this, and I'm always asked for the recipe whenever I make it. Serve with pide, chips or biscuits. For a version that is lower in fat and calories, try using light cream cheese.

Simple and delicious steamed artichokes. Serve these with melted butter for dipping. You will need a pot with a steamer insert.

Actually the bud from a thistle-like plant, globe artichokes are high in fibre, folate and potassium, and supply a surprising amount of vitamin C as well. Fresh herbs and sun-dried tomatoes add a delicious twist to these sauteed treats.

Here is a very different and simple way of enjoying avocados. Use low sodium soy sauce if desired, but full flavored is best.

A low-fat protein source, prawns provide a good amount of B vitamins. They're also mineral-rich, supplying valuable amounts of phosphorus and magnesium.

This is a crunchy, wonderfully satisfying salad that is fab with grilled chicken leftover from yesterday's barbecue. The dressing is sweet and sour, mingling brown sugar with soy sauce and rice vinegar. Fried rice noodles add the crunch. Dried Rice vermicelli noodles or ready prepared packets of crisp noodles are available in Specialist Asian stores and supermakets.

This is one of my favourites. A quick and easy way to use asparagus when it's plentiful and in season. The most important thing is to cook the frittata slowly.

This green version of classic vichyssoise is enriched with yogurt rather than cream. Traditionally served chilled, the soup can also be served hot, so it is ideal for days when the weather is changeable.

Why are the simplest dishes often the best? Here, a few fine ingredients lift this sandwich from the "something on toast" category to a special treat. It makes a delightful, balanced light lunch when fresh asparagus is in season.
