So I have been taking lots and lots of photos and working hard on content for my new site. The last few recipes I have been focusing on getting a lot of color onto the plate.

This salad started out with a head of cauliflower and I just keep adding veggies till I ended up with a rainbow.

The bonus is that different colored foods give us different nutrients, so this salad is jam-packed with healthy vitamins and it’s oh so pretty to eat.

Have a colorful day xxx Chef MM
