TIPS
- Serve salad rolled up as burritos in store-bought, warmed flour tortillas as a ‘do-it-yourself’ rustic dinner in the centre of the table.
- Leftovers can be wrapped up in a wrap the night before in foil and toasted the next day for lunch.
- Serve with tinned refried beans instead of whole borlotti beans.
- Substitute any soft cheese such as goats cheese, grated tasty or labne.
