Steak Panzanella Salad with Toasted Ciabatta
From Beer Country's Blackouts & Boerewors by Karl Tessendorf & Greg Gilowey
“Fresh and vibrant with hearty slices of medium-rare steak.”
Corn & Persimmon Chaat Salad
“Here is a salad that sings and dances like an Indian performer, full of colour, brightness and bells. I served it recently in tiny bowls as a ‘mouth amuser’ or amuse bouche. Persimmons and peaches are interchangeable in this recipe; use the freshest fruit in season!”
Warm Broccoli Spoon Salad
“This is an arresting salad, bursting with excellent flavours and so very easy to make. It can stand for a while, too, if you wish to prepare it ahead of time. As the name suggests, it should be eaten from a bowl with a spoon – a much kinder utensil.”

Loaded BLT Salad with Avo, Croutons & Crispy Onions
From Easy Al Fresco by Ilse van der Merwe
“Sometimes I love turning a classic upside-down, yet retaining the original flavours that I know and love. It’s the case with this BLT sandwich-turned-salad – layers of crunchy lettuce, crispy bacon, the freshest ripe tomato, loaded with creamy avo, some pan-fried croutons (yesterday’s loaf) and a jar-shaken sweet and tangy dressing. A totally scrumptious combo.”
