One thing that we’ve noticed over the years is that food plays such an important role our in lives and not just for fuel but for entertaining and providing us with fond memories too.

We’ve chatted to some of Ireland’s well-known faces and eateries to discover their favourite dishes and meals, be it from their childhood or simply something they like to rustle up at home.

This week, we’re looking at our New Year resolutions, and there has never been such a rush to the salad and vegetable aisles in the supermarket.

While you might be fighting for office fridge space to house your swanky new lunchbox, don’t let yourself down with the same ham sandwich or lacklustre salad.

Why not try mixing up a fresh fruit with your salad, and prep yourself this watermelon, feta and rocket salad from Ocean Spray for a delicious bite.

For those who want an extra protein kick, add a chopped chicken breast to the mix.
