A bowl of greens can become much more when you put a little love and creativity to it. They say eat your greens but no one said it had to be boring. Here’s to transforming the ordinary into extraordinary and enjoying every bite!
This salad was quick and got me going when my day off work suddenly became an “errand day”. The highlight is obviously the chicken which was marinated with the Mekko Dry rub from Essiespice.
