I'm sometimes a bit sad that my mother was not good at making salads and I grew up thinking of them as boring garnishes on the side of the plate. Now that I've mastered the art of combining ingredients and creating nice dressings salads are often my favourite part of a meal. A waste of all those years I could have been eating salads if only I'd realised sooner!

My husband asked me today if we had chia seeds. Um I've been putting them in our salads for the past 4 months.
