note:
Picking different seasonal fruit and vege will make a huge difference for satisfaction and taste. In winter, you can add kale, cabbage and silverbeets. In summer, fruits such as berries and oranges can add a tang to your salads. Snow peas and green beans in the transitional months can add a crunch. When you have more time, you can roast winter root vegetables like carrots and beetroot, as well as pumpkin or sweet potato and make a warm salad.
