What a fantastic zesty salad to quickly throw together when cooking for one!
High in protein to keep you feeling full, and with that satisfying crunch of perfectly cooked vegetables, this one is a show stopper!
A great option to whip together instead of resorting to takeaway, or to bring cold for lunch!
