Building The Perfect Autumn Salad

Now we’re preparing to enter into autumn, getting some recipes and meal plans in the books for the season is key to stick on track with a balanced diet! The perfect autumn salad is a great quick lunch to bring to work, to cook for the family or a quick and easy dinner.

The key to a perfect autumn salad is combining the right ingredients together. Light and fresh salads usually are suited for the summer months, when it is a bit hotter outside. Combining in some hot foods into your salad like roasted nuts or sweet potato provides the comfort of a warm meal in the colder months. Including fruits such as figs, roasted apples and beetroot provide a more heavy and comforting touch.
