Tomatoes are starting to come good now, but if you love a caprese salad, try this one for when tomatoes aren’t at their best.

These easy, oozy tomatoes are just so moreish, and serve as a perfect lunch or side as part of a spread of deliciousness.

The beauty of this sandwich is that it actually wants to be made ahead of time to feed a crowd.

Sweet, savoury, salty and sour, this salad is so good you won’t want winter to end (maybe!).

Easy enough as a midweek meal but also special enough to serve if you’re entertaining.

When you’d like nothing more than an ice-cold martini, but midweek life has other plans, this soup gives hits of salty, briny goodness.

The beauty of this salad lies in its adaptability; add chilli and whatever deli-style goods you have lurking in your fridge.

France’s best-known salad is substantial enough for a main dish but light enough for hot summer days.

Think of is as a salade nicoise, squashed inside a crunchy baguette.

Half of this punchy double-duty mixture becomes a stuffing while the remainder is a salsa to serve.
