breakfast salad
My colleague Manon loves brunch. For her, and to get away from the predictable eggs-bacon-and-potatoes breakfast, I came up with a brilliant way to serve vegetables in the morning. Perfect for Easter, Mother’s Day or pretty much whenever. I also like it in the evening, when I want a flavourful and generous meal that’s light and easy.
