Devon Blue, Walnut & Nectarine Salad

Summer calls for a more relaxed way of cooking and eating, and this recipe is pretty flexible. You can tweak the dressing; substitute peaches, ripe pears or even figs for the nectarines; use any salad leaves and blue cheese you like (or choose goat’s cheese or feta); and swap the walnuts for toasted hazelnuts or almonds. As long as you have sweet, ripe fruit, full-flavoured cheese and some crunchy nuts for texture, it’ll work beautifully. Serves 2 generously.

Strawberry Salad

A simple, summery salad that’s the work of moments. Try it as part of a buffet-style spread, or serve with plenty of crusty bread for a light lunch. Serves 2-4.

Mango, Tomato & Avocado Salad

Healthy and delicious, this quick, simple salad combines some surprising ingredients (mango with tomato sounds odd, but somehow it works). All the lovely juices from the tomatoes, mango and lime stop the avocado turning brown, so it looks amazing, too. We like to eat this with some simply grilled chicken breast fillets – it’s also a great accompaniment to oily fish, like Mackerel. Serves 2.

Chicken & Bacon Salad Recipe

This hearty salad is packed with delicious Greendale Free-Range Chicken Breast and Greendale Smoked Streaky Bacon. Serves 4

Blueberry & Feta Salad Recipe

Fruit and cheese are a match made in heaven. This recipe pairs salty, crumbly Feta cheese with the tangy sweetness of ripe, fresh blueberries and the earthiness of fresh spinach leaves, lifted by bright mint and the satisfying crunch of savoury toasted almonds. Feel free to experiment with different soft cheeses, berries, leaves or nuts – it’s pretty hard to go wrong! Serves 2-3 as a main meal, 4-6 as part of a selection of salads.

BBQ Aubergine & Chickpea Salad

Packed with soft, smoky grilled aubergine and plump chickpeas, this hearty salad illustrates that veggie barbecue recipes are anything but dull. Serves 2-4.

Warm Potato Salad with Summer Herbs

Simple but delicious, this recipe is deliberately heavy-handed with soft summer herbs; fresh, green and flavourful, they combine beautifully with the season’s best Cornish new potatoes and a light vinaigrette dressing. Serves 4 as a side.

Smoked Trout Salad Recipe

Light and summery, this salad makes a lovely warm-weather lunch or supper. Easy to put together, it’s also great to take on picnics – keep the prepared dressing separate from the other ingredients and add it just before serving. Serves 4.

Smoked Cheddar & Apple Salad

Cheddar cheese and apple is truly a match made in Heaven – or perhaps that should be ‘Devon’, as we’ve used the deliciously more-ish new Smoked Cheddar from Quickes, based in nearby Newton St.Cyres, for this simple but tasty salad. Serves 4.

Sirloin Steak Salad with New Potatoes

This warm, hearty salad is quick and easy to put together – perfect for a mid-week meal. The steak and the potatoes can be barbecued for this recipe if wished (for handy tips see our guide Steak – a Barbecue Classic and our recipe for New Potato Skewers

Simple Tomato Salad Recipe

When fresh tomatoes are at their sweet, summery best, it seems a shame to cook them. This simple-but-satisfying salad really allows them to shine – all you need to do is make the croutons, drizzle on the dressing and tear over a few fresh basil leaves. Job done! Serves 4.

Lip-tingling chilli, aromatic ginger and plenty of fresh herbs make this vibrant salad a joy to eat – it’s satisfying, too, packed with succulent pork and rice noodles for a healthy, sustaining meal. Serves 4.

Sausage and Couscous Salad Recipe

A hearty salad for warmer days. We’ve chosen our Beef and Black Pepper Sausages for this recipe, but you can swap in any sausages you like. Don’t be tempted to skimp on the herbs, as they really make the flavours come together. Serves 4.

Quickes Goat's Cheese & Grilled Nectarine Salad

This salad is the perfect combination of warm and sweet nectarine, crunchy bitter leaves, fragrant flowers and creamy lemony Quicke's Goat's Milk Clothbound Cheese, drizzled with a Classic House Dressing. Pair with a loaf of bread and some white wine to wash it down with. Serves 2-4

Wild Rice, Peanut and Beetroot Salad Recipe

This colourful salad proves that healthy food doesn’t need to be dull! You can enjoy it as it is, or make it a larger meal by adding some grilled halloumi, goats’ cheese or grilled chicken. The peanuts can be substituted for different nuts if preferred (toasted and sliced almonds are great) or omitted altogether. Serves 4-6. *Please note - you may need to allow time to pre-soak the rice, according to cooking instructions.*

Warm lobster salad Recipe

This dish draws its inspiration from Asia and marries it with the native lobster of the Lyme Bay, the result, is a wonderful celebration of flavours and cultures. Serves 4

Don’t stint on the fresh herbs for this classic Middle Eastern salad. Full of superbly summery flavours, it’s perfect served alongside grilled fish and meat, and is always a hit at barbecues. Serves 4.

Supper Salad With Dorset Blue Vinny

So called because the croutons and blue cheese make this summery dish more of a main course than a side-salad! Serves 4.

Super Slaw with Spicy Dressing Recipe

Summer Chicken Salad

Made with our delicious free-range chicken, hearty grains, fresh herbs and a yoghurty dressing, this healthy recipe shows that salads can really satisfy – best of all, it doesn’t take long to rustle up, making it an ideal midweek meal when time is tight. Serves 4.

Made with luscious fresh lobster, crisp croutons and a deliciously different dressing, this special salad makes ‘eating your greens’ a little more decadent! Serves 2 as a main course or 4 as a starter.

Lamb Salad with Feta

Heavy roasts and indulgent desserts (not to mention all that chocolate!) can leave you wishing for a lighter meal. Fresh-tasting and full of flavour, this easy salad is a great way to enjoy left-over roast lamb and takes just minutes to put together. Serves 2 generously.

HATARI Spiced Chickpea Salad

This middle eastern inspired salad is a great alternative to a standard summer salad. The spiced chickpeas bring a delicious nutty warmth paired with fresh, crunchy diced vegetables and a lemon chilli dressing which gives a pleasant but not overpowering tang!

Green Bean & Courgette Salad

A tasty way to ‘eat your greens’, this easy salad is full of good things! It makes a great light meal, and also works well served alongside other dishes as part of a larger spread. Serves 2.

Greek-Style Lamb Meatball Salad

Don’t let the long list of ingredients put you off – this hearty salad is actually pretty quick to make, once you have everything assembled, and it’s a great way to enjoy a little taste of the sun without the air fare! Serves 4.

Fresh Mackerel and New Potato Salad Recipe

Eating seasonally doesn’t mean limiting your diet to a few dull recipes, as this delicious dish attests. Mackerel and new potatoes are plentiful in the UK in spring; they work beautifully together in this light but satisfying salad. Serves 2.

Classic Caesar Salad

There is some dispute as to the origins of this much-loved salad, though it’s generally agreed that it was named after a twentieth-century restaurateur and not a Roman emperor! Recipes vary, but ‘classic’ versions almost always include cooked chicken breast, croutons, anchovies and Parmesan cheese – plus, of course, Caesar Salad’s very own signature dressing. Serves 4.

Caprese Salad Recipe

This classic Italian salad combines simple ingredients to stunning effect - cool, creamy Mozzarella cheese is balanced by tangy fresh tomatoes and the Mediterranean warmth of Basil. Serves 4.

Caper-Dressed Sole with Potato Salad

This quick and simple recipe makes the most of delicately-flavoured Lemon Sole or Dover Sole, both unfairly underrated flat fish. You can make the salad well in advance if you like, though it is lovely when the potatoes are still a little warm – and fresh salad leaves are a must. Serves 2.

Beetroot, Rocket and Feta Salad

Mushroom, Artichoke and Sweet Potato Salad

To celebrate Vegetarian Week, we've teamed up with vegan food bloggers @eatsandvinyl to bring you this delicious wild mushroom, artichoke and sweet potato salad. Drizzled with luxurious truffle oil and topped with watercress and wild garlic from the Devon hedgerows, it's a flavour-packed example of meat-free food at its best.

Fruit Salad

You can vary this recipe to include whatever fruit you have to hand – mango and passion fruit are great for adding tropical flavour. For a healthier version, omit the syrup or just use the juice from the two oranges in the recipe.

Easy Bean Salad

This healthy, colourful salad is a doddle to make, and delicious, too. Try experimenting with different cheeses (soft Goats Cheese is a good alternative) and different herbs, and tweak it to suit your tastes.
