A DELICIOUS FRESH SALAD

As we head back into routine after the festive period, for me - having my lunch bulk made is key to feeling organised for the week and ensuring I am getting a well balanced and delicious lunch which will give me all the energy and nutrients for the rest of the day.


This salad is perfect for lunch prep (can keep for up to 4 days), or as an accompaniment to a BBQ or dinner (such as with some salmon or chicken)!
