‘You don’t make friends with salad’ is what they say and I used to agree! I used to find salads so boring, however, I realised people weren’t getting creative with them. A combination of fresh, good quality ingredients and a flavour packed dressing is all that's needed to make any salad shine—and make friends!

“Don’t be that person who just picks out the haloumi—people talk, you know...“
