Layered Salad

14th Jun 2022

This salad is super easy to prepare, is delicious and looks amazing on the table. Simply choose fresh, seasonal ingredients that you like (omit the ones you don’t). Six layers of veges with the dressing as the final layer is a good amount to fill the bowl. The layers look best with ingredients of contrasting colours - try corn kernels, cucumber, snowpea sprouts or beetroot.

Crunchy, Colourful and Nutritious!
