Start your day on a refreshing note with the nourishment of Ruby's Diner breakfast salad with poached eggs, avocado, kale, broccolli and other healthy herbs.
Full-flavoured summer tomatoes at their peak make this the perfect raw soup - we've added a little richness to the equation with just enough avocado to give a silky texture, but not enough to overpower the clean flavour of the tomatoes.
This Caribbean salad is summer in a bowl. The green banana may seem an unusual addition, but works really well in the mix. Chopped cooked prawn meat, meanwhile, works beautifully in place of the crab.
Steaming eggplant gives it a lovely silky texture and makes a lighter alternative to frying. The dressing can be made with a curry paste for extra spiciness. Begin this recipe a day ahead to soak the chickpeas.
