Serving a beautiful plate of vegetables with your meal is really important to ensuring health and vitality.
I find that a few dishes of different healthy options on the table alongside the meat or pasta dish encourages smaller serves of the heavy stuff. Always looking for inventive ways to make veggies the star of the show, I’ve combined roast vegetables with fresh salad leaves to add intense roasted flavour while still retaining that feeling of eating something light. A really delicious and easy side dish for anything from chicken to lamb to steak.
