Finish
Dress the salad. Although we have a pre-made dressing, we will still start by adding salt to the greens and finish by tasting and adding more dressing, salt or pepper to taste.
Garnish the salad with the roasted vegetables, a halved 7 minute egg▸, crispy quinoa, toasted sunflower seeds and sliced radish.
Don’t forget the chicken or salmon if you are adding it!
