Warm Winter Salad
While salads are traditionally classed as a summer lunch, this super healthy salad bowl is warm and bursting with nutrition. It’s perfect for when it’s cold outside.
Comfort food doesn’t have to be bad for you. This is filled with nutritious goodness, it’s super flavoursome and is full of good-for-you ingredients.
The dressing adds a lovely sweet taste to the dish, but it also tastes fab without it too.
