5 green dishes to make this week

Case in point: Phillippa Cheifitz's light, bright, meat-free recipes for pilau, stir-fry, minestrone, pasta and slaw – all starring the season’s best veg.

Avocado, chicory and fennel slaw with mint and feta

I love the contrasting tastes and textures, which make a successful salad to enjoy throughout spring.

Roast the asparagus and cheese at the same time, then pile it all onto the pilau.

Stir-fried greens, baked tofu and sesame

Baked tofu adds texture and protein to an easy stir-fry you’ll make again and again.

Greens and pasta with pecorino, olive and baby spinach pesto

This is really easy to make, filling, and full of great flavour.

Green minestrone

This is more like a vegetable stew than a true soup. Feel free to thin it down with stock if it seems too thick for you.
