Superfood Christmas Salad | How To Make.
Hello friends, fancy making a Superfood Christmas Salad? As today I have a tasty superfood salad recipe to share with you.
Walnuts have long been considered synonymous with the festive season. Often enjoyed freshly cracked open with a nutcracker, or more commonly bought already shelled, walnuts are used in a variety of sweet and savoury seasonal dishes – or simply enjoyed on their own!
The unique taste and texture of walnuts make them a supremely versatile ingredient and means they can do so much when it comes to Christmas cooking.
Incorporating them into seasonal starters, sharers, mains and desserts will add crunch, sweetness, colour, texture, and more.
