Bring this protein-packed salad to work or school in a well-sealed container in a thermal lunch bag. Give it a shake just before opening to redistribute the creamy dressing.
A delicious twist on a Greek favourite, this hors d'oeuvre uses couscous in place of rice. Grape leaves are available at Greek, Middle Eastern, Italian and most supermarkets. Serve warm or at room temperature along with olives.

This is a vegetarian take on a traditional Greek and Turkish finger food. Grape leaves are available at Middle Eastern, Greek, Italian and most supermarkets.
Legumes such as chickpeas are an essential part of vegetarian dishes. They are versatile, high in fibre and protein and have no cholesterol and little fat. They also provide a nutty taste to these patties.
Nothing makes a tender fillet of salmon more appealing than a crunchy layer of panko. For even cooking, ask for salmon fillets that are all the same size and thickness. Serve with a simple tossed green salad or steamed asparagus.
