Hot days are around the corner and that means warmer weather, beautiful scenery and longer days.
But most importantly – colourful, refreshing and delicious salads. One of the most joyous parts of the warmer season, for foodies everywhere, is the abundance of colourful seasonal fruits and vegetables.
A salad is more than just selecting fruits and vegetables at random and tossing them into a bowl with some lettuce. Choosing ingredients that complement each other and a dressing that ties it all together is key.
Speaking about that, we do have a quick recipe that even you would want to try because it comes straight from the kitchen of the Priyanka Chopra Jonas-owned restaurant Sona New York, and she herself has shared it with all of us.
It is an easy and quick salad recipe and will definitely give you a taste of her restaurant because most of us are surely not planning for a New York trip any time soon.
