With the festive season upon us, it seems only fitting to invite a colourful salad to brighten up our dinner tables (and BBQs)!  A salad that not only looks good but is packed with potassium, folate, antioxidants and Vitamins C and K, to keep us sparkling through the holidays.

Edamame works just as well as the green beans so you can swap them out if you prefer.  Firm avocado also makes a delicious addition; add it immediately before serving so it doesn’t have time to brown.

Dress with your favourite French salad dressing, or keep it simple and just drizzle with leftover pomegranate juice, lemon juice and olive oil.  xx
