We all know salads are a great choice but somethings they do get a little…… boring.
When it comes to dressings you don’t want to blow the calories by using a supermarket dressing full of hidden sugars and poor quality salt, but you want more than just olive oil and lemon juice.
Today we have a delicious salad that is perfect for BBQ’s, parties and as a side to your meal.
