Tips

This salad makes a great boxing day lunch, using leftover roast pork and bread from christmas day, as well as that last little bit of blue cheese from the cheese platter!

Leftover roast turkey or chicken will also work well in this salad.

To save time, make dressing and store in the refrigerator ahead of time. Pine nuts, almonds and macadamia nuts also make a delicious addition to this salad.
