Eating salads is not a punishment; it is the most fantastic thing that you can do for your body! I always make sure to load my salad bowls with lots of different veggies and add a source of protein and healthy fat so it will satisfy me and leave me feeling full(yet light and energised) for a long time.

And I love the combination of raw and roasted veg as this way we are getting the most of them (both flavour and nutrients). Experimenting with different spices is not only fun for our taste buds but it is actually amazing for our general wellbeing.

We all heard great things about turmeric as the hype is real for the past few months but using curry powder(with turmeric as one of the main components) here gives it rounder and more complex flavour here that is so delicious and helps our immune system to thrive!

This is such a delicious salad with a kick! Curried veggies work so well with quinoa and crunchy pumpkin seeds creating a balanced protein-packed meal, greens add more vibrance and avocado creaminess. It was such a delicious meal and it keeps great in the fridge so you can cook extra and enjoy for the next few days!
