Nadiya Hussain shares delicious recipes for things that are both fresh and a little bit healthy. These are some lighter meal alternatives, all of which are foolproof recipes that are simple to prepare and easy to master.\n\nTo kick off, Nadiya cooks up a bright and beautiful butternut squash soup, where she makes the flavour sing by adding spiced saffron for warmth and the juice of a grapefruit for an intense citrus hit. Rather than throwing away the seeds, she toasts them in oil before sprinkling them with fragrant mango powder to use as a crunchy topping.\n\nNext up is a delicious crunchy salad. Nadiya admits that she used to struggle to get excited by salads, as they can be so plain and uninspiring, but that all changed on a filming trip to Thailand. While filming a scene in a market, she had a crunchy papaya salad with green beans and peanuts, and her mind was blown. Nadiya has created a unique version of this Thai classic, using the more accessible and affordable cucumber as well as juicy prawns and a punchy dressing packed with sour, sweet, tart and spicy Thai flavours.\n\nNadiya always has cake in the house, and she shares her recipe for a vegan and gluten-free apple and olive oil bake. Not healthy per se, it is still a lighter alternative to some of her more decadent recipes and full of fresh fruity flavour.\n\nFinally, Nadiya turns her attention to a lighter alternative to the roast dinner. As the centrepiece, she takes a side of fresh salmon and coats it with a salsa verde crumb, while caramelised miso onions make a delicious side. \n\nMeanwhile, Georgina Hayden shares a treasured recipe for a Greek Cypriot kebab and zesty salad with creamy avocado, punchy radishes and a lemon and tahini dressing.
