I made this dish the other day for weekly meal prep and served it with grilled chicken. But the salad is a meal in itself! It’s really addicting and filling, so here’s the recipe. Save the recipe for potlucks! Get a fun Spotify playlist because there’s a bit of chopping to do. I recommend ‘Unwind 00s’.
