Most of the time I write recipes as I go. Nothing inspires me better than fresh organic vegetables. Following a weekend getaway which featured some not so healthy meals I decided to make a clean salad for two! Hope you enjoy my recipe and follow me on instagram @30_minute_meals for more recipes —Afrovitalityeats
