Light Bites & Fresh Salads — 30 Quick, Healthy Plates on a Budget
Some days you don't want a heavy dinner. You want something fresh, fast and light that still fills you up — without spending a fortune or standing at the stove.
That's this book. Thirty bright little plates and generous loaded salads, built from cheap everyday ingredients and ready in around 20 minutes. Low on carbs, big on flavour, and nothing you can't find at any supermarket.
It starts with sweet potato toast. Slice a sweet potato thin, toast it, and you've got a warm, naturally sweet base for avocado and a fried egg, cottage cheese and tomato, smashed white beans, or feta and mint. No bread, barely any carbs, ready in ten minutes.
Inside you'll find:
- 5 sweet potato toasts — the bread-free base, five ways
- 9 light bites — corn & zucchini fritters, crispy roasted chickpeas, zucchini & feta slice, garlic mushrooms on toast, tomato & egg skillet, cucumber tuna boats and more
- 16 loaded salads — Caesar with a proper homemade dressing, rosemary roast sweet potato & chickpea, quinoa & corn, Greek, creamy potato salad, black bean & avocado, charred corn & feta, warm potato & green bean, and plenty more
- 6 easy dressings made from cheap basics — shake in a jar, keeps a week
- Clear tags on every recipe: No-cook · Low carb · Under 15 min · Meal-prep · Vegan-friendly
- A pick-by-your-mood guide for whatever kind of day you're having
Sweet potato, cucumber, tomato, red onion, tinned chickpeas, eggs and frozen corn do most of the heavy lifting — all cheap, all year round. Swap freely, use what you've got, taste as you go.
