Check out these 5 tasty no-cook recipes! All you’ll need is a blender and a microwave to get these meals ready in no time!
1.Bean Salad
A bean salad can be a tasty and refreshing addition to any meal, or on its own! It works well with a can of mixed beans, some fresh chopped tomatoes, green beans, sweetcorn, olives, herbs and some crumbled feta to finish it off. The great thing about this salad, is that it is so versatile and will work with so many combinations of what you might have in your cupboards or fridge. You can finish it off with a dressing of your choice, a lemon and mustard drizzle works especially well though!
2.Coleslaw
A cabbage can go a long way, and coleslaw is a great way to use it up. Mix together chopped cabbage (of any variety), grated carrots and a handful of coriander or parsley, add a couple of table spoons of mayonnaise and season to taste, and you already have an easy no cook meal.
3.Tabbouleh
Tabbouleh is a simple Mediterranean salad of very finely chopped vegetables (tomatoes, spring onions, cucumber, spices), lots of fresh parsley and bulgur wheat, all tossed with lime juice and olive oil. This dish, with its combination of fresh ingredients and citrusy twist is another great addition to the lunch or dinner table, and adds a great splash of colour!
4.Gazpacho
