Put a big bowl of salad in front of me a few years ago and I would have called it rabbit food, repetitive, and boring! I realized I was doing it all wrong...salads can be a rager - they just need some fancying-up from the basic greens and dressing combo! Biting into a variety of flavours, colours, and textures can transform the experience 😍 This beauty features succulent grilled chicken with warm Moroccan spices, crunchy garlicky and spicy croutons made with crusty ciabatta bread, and a sweet and zingy fresh mint yoghurt dressing - all on a bed of crisp greens and a cherry tomato medley. Salads don’t have to be the enemy - this one will surprise your tastebuds in the best way possible.
