Salads

Well, I was sent a email during the week from a lovely reader Angela wanting some recipes for salads that I had posted on Instagram last week. The salads are super easy and oh so yum! As I have mentioned before with four children and many activities and homework I need for dinner to be super fast, healthy and EASY!  Of course it helps when the younger people in this crazy house love them to.

I hope you enjoy it! ..... skip the shop bought dressings and try making your own, they are always so much better and way more economical.
