Perfect as a side or for lunch, this bright, beautiful and super healthy salad is from my book The Healthy Life, and since its gluten and dairy free it’s suitable for most diets. Add your favourite protein such as tempeh, tofu, chicken, turkey or fish for a more filling and extra nutritious main meal.

You can add more flavour by using Herbamare Seasoning Salt, which is made from sea salt and fresh organically grown vegetables, garden herbs and iodine rich kelp.
