Eat More Salad
Eat more Salad with your dinner meal.
While comfort food kept many of us afloat during self-isolation, quarantine kilos are real. For real. Salad is the answer.
But not the one you packed for your office lunch over and over. Or that same salad you make for a bbq. I have 3 great salads for the dinner table to go with whatever you are making that night. And the leftover can be an absolute game changer.
Learn how to build better, more interesting salads with these tips and recipes.
“Treat salads like a story”. Decide where you want the story to take you, and then guide your ingredients to the same place. For example, if I’m looking to create a quinoa & roast veggie salad (like one of the 3 in my video of salads) inspired by black quinoa and any random veggie that’s in the bottom of my fridge, I will use roast the veggies off seasoned well and allow them to sit before tossing the rest of the ingredients in makes for a better tasting story.
One of the most important details about salad making is creating layers of flavour with every ingredient, so remember to season your vegetables and grains well. And remember, most salads (apart from ‘chilled’ ones) are best eaten at room temperature – cold salads tend to be tasteless, as the temperature kills most of the flavours.”

The quick and easy roast veggie salad and balsamic glaze recipe are so damn tasty. What makes this so epic is the crunch of the roasted seeds and the sweetness of the balsamic glaze that brings it together.
