Lemon Vinaigrette & Protein Packed Salad
Fresh, filling and full of nutrient goodness – that’s how we like our salads! 💚
This one has fragrant fresh mint and basil along with protein rich tofu and chickpeas to really make this a hearty, satiating salad Meal, with a capital 'M'. We love this tart Lemon Vinaigrette that gives the whole dish a squeeze of summer freshness. This dressing keeps nicely in the fridge for up to 4 weeks and is also delicious drizzled on top of any grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes or cauliflower steaks! A great staple to keep on hand! 🍋💚
