If there is anytime where we should be getting creative in our kitchens - the time is now.
The warm weather means the summer season is drawing closer, this is the moment to start getting creative and healthy with our food!
The week of sunshine has inspired me to make some colourful and delicious side dishes! Who knew that fruit and vegetables could look so beautiful?
These two dishes go perfectly alongside any spring or summer BBQ - fresh and fruity tasting as well as super good for you!
All the food I have created here is gluten free and dairy free. And if you are following a similar, Allergen Free/Autoimmune Paleo diet to me - these cater for that too!

Orange Summer Slaw -
What You Will Need:
One Red Cabbage
One White Cabbage
Four Organic Carrots
For the Orange Dressing :
Two tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar
Two tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Juice of One Orange
Peel from One Orange
Salt + Pepper
Using either a grater, finely chopping or like I do, in a food processor with the grate/slice tool - put all the vegetables in until they resemble fine slaw-like pieces! Mix the dressing in a bowl and pour over the vegetables. With your hands mix together, squeezing the veg so that everything absorbs that orangey flavour.
Serve in your favourite bowl - sprinkle with some remaining orange peel!
You can also top with raisins, currants, pomegranates seeds or nuts.
Either serve immediately or keep in a Tupperware to have whenever you fancy - perfect for on the go lunches and leftovers!
(I had mine last night with steak, sweet potato/parsnip chips and half an Avo!)

Cut about a 1/4 of the pineapple off - then chop off the rough skin and cut into small bite size pieces. (I cut the rest of the pineapple up and save in a Tupperware to have as a snack - or freeze some of the pieces to pop into smoothies!)
Cut the mango in half around the stone and score the flesh in a criss-cross pattern! Turn the mango inside out so the flesh side pops out and get as much of the mango squares off the skin. - I find this the easiest way, but you can do it however you want.
Cut the fruit into small bite size pieces and mix in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
Serve in a dish and sprinkle some more mint on top for decoration!
I had this salsa with some cauliflower rice and chicken kebabs!
Enjoy!
