Continuing the salad theme today with this gorgeous bowl of steamed broccoli, garlic fried mushrooms, baby corn Spears and curried butternut all topped with a fluffy feta - yoghurt dressing! š It was wholesome, filling and most of all substantial. I dotted the salad with a bit of homemade green coriander and mint chutney as well and it added to the flavour in the most delightful way.
