Yummy! Yummy! and more Yummy!
This salad is delicious and is packed full of fresh ingredients and flavours.
Your taste buds are sure to have a FIESTA!
A perfect fresh salad dressed in a delicious sweet & sour chilli dressing, which takes this salad to the next level in flavours.
Salads are perfect for lunch, dinner or as a side dish at barbecues, parties and with dinner.
Salads do not need to be boring and just salad leaves, there are so many ways in which you can create a delicious and nutritious salad and usually with things you already have in your fridge or pantry.
Not only is this salad suitable for vegetarians and vegans, it's also suitable for anyone on a gluten free diet. Rice noodles are a great replacement for egg noodles, especially if you're trying to keep things gluten free.
The flavours in Asian cuisine really inspire me and I guess this salad has a slight infusion of Asian cuisine.
We LOVE this new salad recipe and we really hope you do too...
Happy Cooking!
