A good dressing is one of the cheapest ways to make dinner taste far more interesting. A squeeze of citrus, a spoonful of mustard, a handful of herbs or a few salty anchovies can transform simple ingredients, adding brightness, richness and punch without requiring a trolley full of extras.
That is the thinking behind this week’s Budget Bites, our series created in collaboration with Sorted Food in response to the cost of living crisis. The idea is simple: easy, accessible recipes that make the most of affordable ingredients, with plenty of crossover between dishes to keep food waste, washing up and the weekly shop to a minimum.
