This has to be the salad of a nutritionists dreams. Packed with an array of colourful vegetables, protein packed quinoa & chickpeas, sprinkled with antioxidant filled jewels, it really does tick every box. My advice would be to make extra, as it’s equally delicious the following day and makes a superb lunch on the go. ⠀ ⠀ INGREDIENTS
