SUMMER SALADS
It’s the time of year for fresh, crisp salads to take the place of cold-weather comfort
food, helping you keep the pounds off for bikini season. A bowl full of crunchy and
colourful veg – with all the fixings – is just what the doctor ordered after a hot day. Enjoy
one of insideKENT’s picks for easy throw-together salads for the warm summer months.
