Take the backyard barbecue up a notch for impressive yet easy summer entertaining. Let Taylor Farms take care of the salads, all you have to do is select your favourite Chopped Salad Kits from the vegetable department of your local supermarket and finish them just before serving, using the handy packets of dressings and toppings that come inside the kits.

Cook a selection of steaks and sausages for a meat board, slicing

everything to allow for smaller servings, giving diners the opportunity to try a little of everything on the table.

A side of salmon is always impressive and can be baked in the barbecue in advance to serve at room temperature. For the vegetarians, grill some "vegetable steaks". Eggplant, courgette, peppers and cauliflower work well, drizzled with oil and cooked until tender.

Complete the table with a selection of sauces, chutneys, mustards and fresh bread.

Barbecued salmon

Brush a side of salmon with oil, sprinkle with salt and sprigs of dill. Place on a baking tray lined with foil and bake in the barbecue with the hood down for 20-30 minutes until just cooked. Match the salmon with Taylor Farms Kale Chopped Salad Kit which packs a nutritional punch of kale, savoy cabbage and radicchio topped with cheese, herb croutons and lemon vinaigrette.

Vietnamese marinade for steak

Marinate beef steaks in a mix of 100ml fish sauce, 100 ml lime juice, 3 cloves crushed garlic, 2 Tbsp sambal olek (or use 1 finely chopped red chilli) and 3 Tbsp brown sugar for a few hours before grilling. The mix of savoy and green cabbage, carrots, celery and spring onions, finished with toasted slivered almonds, crisp wonton noodles and sesame ginger dressing in the Taylor
