Baked Beet Salad

Beets have the highest sugar content of any vegetable but are nonetheless very low in calories. Here they are perfectly partnered with onions in a salad. Baking vegetables in their skins helps retain flavour and moisture.

Feta Yogurt Dip

This creamy herbed dip is perfect for a party. It can be halved or doubled, it's a cinch to whip up, and it tastes even better when made ahead and flavours have time to develop. For added drama, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil just before serving.

Chickpea Pita Salad

Grilled Asparagus with Curried Yogurt Dressing

Traditional Lemonade
