Greek Yoghurt Salad Dressing

This is my favourite low-fat salad dressing at the moment. Simple, creamy and fresh. It has a lot less calories than both mayonnaise and oil-based dressings - but it is wonderfully creamy and indulgent!

It's also super easy to make and you don't have to worry about emulsifying oils together or anything complex! Just bung all the ingredients in a bowl, mix, and you're away.

My favourite way to serve the Greek Yoghurt Salad Dressing is with a totally green salad, chocked full of different types of lettuce and avocado. The kids love it too, so it makes things a little easier when it comes to getting them to eat their greens!

Homemade Gherkin Coleslaw

If there's one thing I'm not keen on, it's shop bought coleslaw... in fact I don't really like at all. I think hate might be a bit too strong a word to describe my dislike for the overly creamy, chunky cabbagey, sloppy oniony gloop. So here's my zingy and crunchy fresh alternative. Combine all the ingredients below and voilà!

Ingredients:
3 carrots, grated
2 sticks celery, finely chopped
2 spring onions, finely chopped
30g gherkins, finely chopped

Dressing:
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
squeeze of lemon juice
salt and pepper
