Introduction

I had this salad at a BBQ and fell in love! I modified it from the original, which had spring onion (which I can't digest) and bacon. I had this salad at a BBQ and fell in love! I modified it from the original, which had spring onion (which I can't digest) and bacon.

    1 teaspoon rosemary wine syrup (Malvoire)

Tips

Add 1/2 chicken breast, cubed or substitute quinoa for couscous (cook per package directions) for extra protein.
