So, this recipe is AMAZING! My main rationale for trying any recipe I find is “do I think the flavours sound yum”. And I could imagine with 99% certainty that this would be a winner. I encourage everyone to try new recipes and to play with flavour – after all, that is what food should be – a joy to eat and healthy for the body as well. I am always discouraged when people think healthy food is boring. This tasty little salad can be kept as a vegetarian option and if you want to add additional meat (chicken/steak/fish etc) you can do that as well. This recipe is from inspiration from the Fresh Living Magazine (free to Smart Shoppers at Pick n Pay).
Hope you love it as much as I do!
