Warming Winter Salad
After a chilly and windy Brisbane winter’s day I was looking for inspiration for a dinner to warm us all up. I try not to waste food and hate throwing out food that's gone off at the back of the fridge so I was excited to find a small square of feta cheese tucked away in the fridge that became the inspiration I needed to create my veggie salad. The perfect accompaniment to your choice of roast or some delicious slices of halloumi cheese.
I hope you enjoy this salad as much as we did.
