This Vietnamese-style salad from our book, Money Saving Meals, is made with basa fillets – a freshwater Vietnamese catfish with a mild flesh (and not too many bones) that remains moist during cooking.

With cabbages, rocket and chives from the school's kitchen garden we made this incredibly simple and tasty salad (thanks to a box of donated oranges).

This is so easy – no chopping, and you'll just need 2 bowls and 1 spoon.

Serve with pan fried or barbecued chicken, chops or sausages or as a light meal on its own.

Use a flavoured tuna (like chilli) if you want more zing. To give it some crunch, serve with grainy crackers such as crispbreads or make wraps with corn tortillas.
