Hi Judy, thanks for your comment. Our recipes are designed to suit a range of different family sizes, which is why some will feed 1 or 2 people while others will feed 8 people! You might like to try typing 'serves 1' or 'serves 2' into the search box to filter the recipes to only those most suitable for you. For 'serves 2' recipes I'd suggest making the full amount, and saving half for lunch or dinner the next day - this will help cut down on time! Thanks, Gael

This recipe and others are for several people, I live on my own, I don’t like the idea of having to calculate ingredients to suit one person.

This looks delicious and easy to put together - a great portable salad, but are 8 serves supposed to come from the meal pictured??! Looks like one to me. Keen to try - has the lowest kilojoule count of many I've seen on the site. So much to choose from Teresa
