Monday: Halloumi is a match made in heaven with this dressing, combining sweet, salty and fiery flavours. For a simple roasted halloumi and rainbow vegetable salad, chop colourful bell peppers, courgettes and red onions into similar sized chunks, then toss lightly with olive oil and scatter into a roasting tray. Brush sliced halloumi with your sweet chilli red wine vinaigrette and place on top of the veggies. Roast at the top of a scorching hot oven for 15 minutes until well charred. Douse the roasted vegetables with generous spoonfuls of dressing and serve with rocket and toasted pine nuts.

Tuesday: Add some soy sauce or tamari to your dressing to look forward to a #TastyTuesday with a wild rice salad with miso-roasted tofu & broccoli, edamame beans and mint.

Wednesday: Pay a visit to your local fishmonger and bakery to enjoy a sweet & fiery crab cocktail salad with baby gem, avocado, and cucumber, served with fresh, crusty bread.

Thursday: This dressing makes an amazingly vibrant rainbow slaw that’s perfect for serving with grilled or barbecued meats. With the absence of mayo or dairy, the slaw remains light, clean and zippy, making it the perfect accompaniment to cut through robust smoky flavours. Combine finely shredded red cabbage, grated carrots, finely sliced red pepper, blanched edamame beans and chopped coriander or mint, and toss everything generously with your sweet chilli red wine vinaigrette and the juice of 1 lime. Top the slaw with toasted, chopped peanuts and fresh herbs.

Friday: Egg-fried rice is taken to the next level with this sweet chilli red wine vinaigrette. Fry finely diced onion, celery, garlic and carrots in a tablespoon or two of sesame oil for 8 minutes, before adding cooked rice, frozen peas and sweetcorn, and stir-frying for 6 minutes. Make a hollow in the centre of the pan, and crack in the eggs (one per person) then scramble and stir-fry until cooked. Toasted peanuts or cashews, chopped coriander, sesame seeds, and sliced spring onion make excellent toppings, as well as several spoonfuls of your dressing.

The weekend: For a tasty alfresco lunch, mash some fresh raspberries into your dressing to create these beautiful crushed raspberry & goats’ cheese bruschetta with roasted hazelnuts.
