This salad is so delicious and nourishing, and it comes together really easily! Perfect for a warm summer lunch 🥰
Initially, I didn’t plan on adding maple syrup to this one, but on the day of filming, my orange wasn’t super sweet, so I decided to add a bit of sweetness. This is a good example of how ingredients can vary, and I encourage you to experiment with your own ingredients; maybe your oranges will be super juicy and sweet, and you can add 3 tbsp of juice and skip the syrup!
