Our Favourite Scrumptious Salads

• 15 November 2020

Now that we’re well into spring, we’re eating less hearty winter soups and sides and more fresh salads. Salads are an easy way to eat more vegetables, but eating the same mix of lettuce, tomato and cucumber every day gets boring very quickly. When you bring new elements to your salad bowl with interesting flavours and different textures they become much more exciting. Mixing them up with different sources of fat and protein also makes them way more satisfying.

We’ve rounded up some of our favourite Daily Dish salads, all full of farm-fresh ingredients, that are delicious as a meal on their own or as a healthy side at your next braai.
