Looking for simple no-oven dishes that are big on taste and low on effort this summer? Dark leafy greens like cavolo nero, kale and spinach are a delicious way to add flavour, colour and texture to a variety of easy, warm-weather recipes.
With their gentle, earthy flavour, cavolo nero and kale pair naturally with many herbs and spices. Spinach, with its mild sweetness, is just as versatile – working well in everything from fresh salads to accompaniments for meat and fish.
Not only that, but these vegetables can also support a healthy, balanced diet. Cavolo nero and kale are natural sources of fibre and contain vitamins A, C and K, as well as folate, while spinach is rich in folate and a source of vitamins A and C.
Quick to prepare and ready in minutes, these greens can be added to a range of dishes. See our summer recipes below!
