An unusual salad of dressed spinach leaves topped with softly-poached eggs. If you are on the Original Eating Plan you might like to add a delicious finishing touch by sprinkling some crumbled, crisply grilled lean back bacon over the top of the salad.

These succulent grilled vegetable skewers can be served hot or cold - either way they are equally delicious. They taste especially good with the Italian basil and tomato dip.

If wished, you can use a mixture of red, yellow and green peppers to make these colourful party canapes. They can be made in advance and stored for several hours in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them. Because they are good "finger food", these pepper rolls would be prefect for popping into your packed lunch box, too.
