Diet food and salads are synonymous, and frankly diet salads are generally boring and not much fun. I like to load up on varied flavours and textures to keep it as interesting as possible. Today’s salad includes toasted pine nuts, grilled artichokes, ricotta cheese (naturally low fat), Parmesan cheese, rocket, basil, grilled zucchini, roasted cherry tomatoes all dressed with a lemon vinaigrette. Delish!

And remember the pine nuts will help with keeping you feeling fuller for longer due to the pinolenic acid.
