Do you love salads?
I’m the kind of person that i wasn’t used to eat salads often in the past… And, of course, when that happened, we were talking about a lettuce leaf in a sandwich or half a tomato in a salad full of olive oil. But as time passed, that has changed, since my cooking passion showed me how to make “real” salads with rich ingredients that provide me with energy, taste and of course all the necessary elements that my body needs. It is from every aspect a complete meal!
