Tips

  • If you do not prefer raisins in a salad, try substituting them with dried currants. They are super delicious and high in nutrients such as sodium, iron, and potassium.

  • For this salad, a great side dish would be baked sweet potatoes. They're a quite filling vegetable and a valuable energy source.

Bon Appetit!
