In a small bowl, whisk together lime zest, juice, olive oil, maple syrup/honey, and sea salt.

In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, jalapeño, most spring onions, and coriander. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat.
Step 4 – Serve

Tips
Use a mix of red and white cabbage for extra colour.
For extra crunch, add toasted seeds or nuts.
Make ahead: Prep veggies and dressing separately, combine just before serving.
Can I make cabbage slaw ahead of time?
Yes, you can make cabbage slaw ahead of time. Martha Stewart actually recommends making slaw ahead of time so that the flavour intensifies. You can prep the vegetables and dressing separately for up to a day ahead, refrigerating for up to 3 hours.
How long does cabbage slaw last in the fridge?
You can store cabbage slaw in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. However, we recommend eating it within a day or two for the best results in flavour and texture. This is because it can become watery if kept for longer, making it unpleasant to eat.
Is this slaw recipe vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, this cabbage slaw recipe can be vegan and gluten-free friendly depending on the ingredients used.
The base ingredients for the slaw (the vegetables) can remain the same, however you would need to swap the honey in the dressing mix with pure maple syrup instead to make it 100% vegan. We like to use Biona Organic Pure Maple Syrup Amber Grade A 1 for this recipe.
Can I use lemon instead of lime?
Yes, you can use lemon instead of lime, but it will alter the flavour slightly. This is because lemons have a sweeter, less tart flavour than limes.

Use a peeler to remove strips of peel from the lemons, avoiding the white pith. Put the lemon peel, sugar, 400ml water and a pinch of Maldon Sea Salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over a gentle heat until the sugar has fully dissolved. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
Pour the syrup through a strainer. Discard the peel.
Juice the lemons and add the juice to the syrup. Mix well and transfer to a large jug. Add plenty of crushed ice and top up with sparkling water. Serve with lemon slices and fresh mint.
Tip the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer. Put the yeast on one side of the bowl and the Maldon Sea Salt on the other (this separation prevents the salt from killing the yeast). Put the mixer on low to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
With the motor running, pour in 3 tbsp olive oil, followed by 350-370ml water. Add the water gradually until you have a slightly sticky dough (you may not need the full 370ml).
Leave the mixer running on a medium speed to knead the dough for 7-10 minutes until the dough is coming away from the sides of the bowl and feels stretchy when pulled. Transfer the dough to a clean bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to prove for an hour or so until doubled in volume.
Grease a rectangular, shallow tin (about 25cm x 20cm) with olive oil. Gently tip the dough into the tin and use your fingertips to stretch the dough towards the edges of the tin. Cover with the tea towel and leave to prove for another 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200C fan. Press your fingers into the dough to make dimples, scatter with rosemary leaves and drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden. As soon as the focaccia comes out of the oven, drizzle with a final 2-3 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with Maldon Sea Salt and cut into squares.
Whip up the ultimate avocado toast in minutes Piles high with creamy avocado and a zesty cherry tomato topping, this avocado on toast recipe is fresh, satisfying and finished with a pinch of crunchy Maldon Sea Salt flakes for perfect balance. Ideal for a quick breakfast, healthy brunch or light lunch.
Step 1 – Make the Tomato Topping
In a bowl, mix chopped cherry tomatoes with red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of Maldon Sea Salt flakes.
Toss and leave for 5 minutes to lightly macerate; tomatoes should look glossy and juicy.
Step 2 – Toast and Top
Toast the sourdough until golden and crisp.
Fan the avocado slices over each toast. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
Season generously with black pepper and Maldon Sea Salt flakes.
Step 3 – Serve
Spoon the tomatoes over the avocado.
Serve immediately while the toast is still crisp.
Tips & FAQs
Tips
Ripeness: Use a ripe Hass avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure.
Extra zing: Add a squeeze of lemon or lime to the avocado to prevent browning and boost freshness.
Texture swap: Prefer “smashed”? Lightly mash the avocado with a fork before spreading.
Bread: Sourdough gives the best crunch and structure; thick slices hold toppings well.
Finish strong: A final pinch of Maldon Sea Salt flakes enhances sweetness in the tomatoes and balances richness.
FAQs:
What’s the best bread for avocado toast?
Thick-cut sourdough or country bread—sturdy, with an open crumb that toasts crisp without getting soggy.
How do I keep avocado from browning?
Toss sliced or smashed avocado with 1–2 tsp lemon or lime juice and cover tightly until serving.
Can I make this ahead?
Assemble just before serving for crisp toast. Prep the tomato topping up to 24 hours ahead; store chilled in an airtight container.
Is avocado toast vegan?
Yes—this recipe is naturally vegan. Add-ons like poached eggs or feta make it vegetarian, not vegan.
Serving Suggestions

Protein boosts: poached egg, smoked salmon, or marinated chickpeas (keep base recipe vegan).
Plate with a simple green salad or fruit for brunch.
Portioning: serve as two open-faced toasts or cut into halves/quarters for canapés.
Storage & Reheating
Best enjoyed fresh.
Tomato topping: refrigerate up to 24 hours.
Avocado: prep to order; if prepping, coat with citrus and press cling film directly on the surface.
Toast: toast just before serving; reheating softens the crumb.
Dissolve the honey in the lemon and orange juice. Add a pinch of Maldon Sea Salt flakes. Then add to a shaker with the remaining ingredients apart from the ginger beer, then add some ice and shake well for 30 seconds.
Stain this into a glass filled with ice and top with ginger beer.
Garnish with the fresh ginger and orange and serve.

What is Lunar New Year?
The Lunar New Year, also known as the Chinese New Year, is a 15-day festival which begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the calendar, ending with the ‘Lantern Festival’ on the 15th day. It’s full of celebration, centred around removing the bad and the old, and welcoming the new and the good. It’s a time where many worship ancestors, exorcise evil sprits and pray for good harvest. The date of the Lunar New Year changes every year. In 2024, this will occur on the 29th January. Across many countries, including China, South Korea, North Korea, Singapore and Cambodia, each year is associated with an animal from the zodiac. For 2025, this will be the Year of the Snake. The Snake represents wisdom, transformation and renewal.
Why do you eat duck during Lunar New Year
According to Reader’s Digest, duck is one of the most popular dishes at Lunar New Year dinner. This is because duck symbolises loyalty and is a great choice for good fortune because of it’s ‘reddish hue’ – the luckiest colour in Chinese culture.
Here is how to make Air Fryer Spicy Peking Duck
To a large pan, add the Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, soft brown sugar, spices, Maldon Chilli Sea Salt, spring onions, ginger, lemongrass, hoisin and chicken stock. Bring it up to a simmer and then add the duck legs and breast. Continue to simmer gently for 1 hour 30 minutes.
After this time, remove the duck from the pan and pat dry using kitchen paper. Preheat the air fryer to 200c. Then place the duck into the basket and cook for 10 – 15 mins so skin goes really crispy and caramelized.
While the duck is crisping up, mix together the rice vinegar, Maldon Sea Salt and caster sugar together in a small bowl and then add the julienned carrot. Toss it through and set aside to lightly pickle.
When the duck is cooked, remove it from the air fryer. Slice the duck breast and shred the duck leg meat, then place it onto a serving platter. Warm through the Chinese pancakes and then serve alongside the crispy duck, hoisin sauce and the julienned spring onions, cucumber and pickled carrots. Let everyone tuck in and make their own pancakes up!

What other vegetables can I serve with salmon?
There are many vegetables that go well with salmon such as tender asparagus spears, mild courgette slices, and sweet carrot batons, all of which are delicious when roasted or air-fried. Crisp green beans and sugar snap peas add a fresh, crunchy texture, while blistered cherry tomatoes provide juicy bursts of flavour. Hearty butternut squash cubes bring a slightly nutty depth, and a handful of spinach can be added at the end to wilt gently alongside the cooked salmon. These vibrant choices create a perfect balance of flavours, textures, and colours to complement your salmon dish.
Can you air fry frozen salmon?
Yes, you can cook frozen salmon in an air fryer. It’s a quick and convenient way to cook salmon without thawing it first. Simply preheat the air fryer to the desired temperature (around 199°C/390°F). Lightly coat the air fryer basket with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can use baking paper/parchment paper. Place the frozen salmon fillet in a single layer in the basket. You’re probably wondering how long does it take to air fry salmon? We recommend air frying the salmon for around 8-9 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Is air frying salmon healthy?
Yes, air frying salmon can be a very healthy way to cook this nutrient-rich fish. The air fryer uses hot air circulation to cook food, which requires less oil than traditionally frying in a pan. This results in a lower-fat dish without sacrificing flavourful. Here are three benefits of air frying salmon, including how Maldon Sea Salt can enhance the dish.
Lower Fat Content – Air frying reduces the amount of oil needed to cook salmon, compared to methods like deep frying or pan-frying. The hot air in the air fryer crisps up the salmon’s skin and helps lock in moisture without saturating the fish with excess fat. Since salmon already contained healthy fats (such as Omega-3 fatty acids, using minimal oil ensures that the dish stays light yet flavourful.
Preserves Nutrients – Salmon is packed with essential nutrients, including Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamins D and B12. Air frying cooks the fish quickly and evenly, helping to retain these beneficial nutrients. The method also avoids overcooking the salmon, which can cause a loss of nutrients. The crispy skin create din the air fryer is an added bonus, as it adds a delicious texture without compromising the nutritional profile.
Better Control Over Seasoning – When using Maldon Sea Salt in your air fryer salmon recipe, you get a better control over the seasoning. Maldon Salt is renowned for it’s delicate, flaky texture, which allows it to dissolve easily and evenly on the surface of the fish. It’s an excellent way to enhance the natural flavours of the salmon without overpowering the dish. Just a light pinch of Maldon Sea Salt after air frying gives the salmon a perfectly balances taste while also adding the mineral benefits of sea salt.

The air fryer works it’s magic, infusing the dish with the deep, garlicky notes of Maldon Garlic Sea Salt as you stir every five minutes for even cooking. Pure comfort in a bowl, made easy by your air fryer.
How to cook creamy garlic butter beans with spinach using an air fryer
Start by removing the crisper tray from the air fryer drawer.
Place the olive oil and rosemary into the drawer and air fry for 5 minutes at 200ºC.
Once the 5 minutes is up, pour the butter beans (including the liquid) into the air fryer drawer, along with the red wine vinegar, a generous pinch of Maldon Garlic Sea Salt and a little pepper. Mix everything together (at this point, if the rosemary leaves have come away from the stalk you can remove the stalks).
Air fry for 15 minutes at 200ºC, stirring every 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare your tomatoes and sourdough. I like to cook the tomatoes in the air fryer for 5-6 minutes on 190ºC, until soft and heated through and the sourdough takes around 4-5 minutes to turn into perfectly crisp toast.
Once the beans have finished cooking, stir in the spinach and pop back in the air fryer for a final 4 minutes at 190ºC.
To plate up, place your sourdough on a plate, top with the butter beans mixture, followed by the tomatoes and tuck in!
If you like to have a bit of meat with your meals – a bit of crunchy streaky bacon goes perfectly with this dish! (air fry the bacon for 8 minutes at 190ºC).
