When winter is approaching the markets are so full of fresh produce. I personally love the sight of greens, reds and orange hues at the greengrocer.
There is a lot of fun you can have with salads. It need not be BORING (contrary to popular belief)
I love the crunch that Iceberg lettuce brings to a bowl of salad. Usually, veggies with a lot of water content are good for salads, they make you feel less guilty even if you have more than your portion size. Also, lettuce looks a lot better in a salad bowl, it beautifully compliments the other brightly coloured vegetables.
So what are we waiting for, let’s put together this amazing bowl of freshness, that won’t take more than 10 minutes !
