Sheās sweet and sheās citrusy, but most of all, sheās full of flavour š!
Please welcome my gorgeous HOLIDAY SALAD with SWEET POTATO, CRISPY SAGE + MAPLE WALNUTS!
Iāve shared some winter treats recently with you guys, so I thought Iād be a responsible adult and make sure weāre all getting our veg in too. We need those vitamins and nutrients to boogie our way through this busy season...now is not the time to get sickš!!
No need to panic though - I make eating your veg oh-so moreish. In this holiday salad, youāll get a boost of fibre, vitamin C, iron and healthy fats. Thereās an incredible combination of tang, tartness, salty feta, crunchy seeds and nuts, as well as leafy kale, crispy sage and delish sweet potatoes.
Let me know if youāre making this one soon, OR adding it to your Christmas spread! š
