“This can be a base salad that you can add any protein to, to bulk it up. The flavours really pack a punch!”
“This is a bit of a one-bowl wonder that’s really satisfying. Make it easier by using frozen beans.”
“This hearty salad is one of my favourite ways to eat brussels sprouts. A tip for frying the Lebanese bread – I separate the layers. It makes for a more even fry. If you want a healthier option, use toasted leftover sourdough.”
