Recipe Notes

This recipe is only a guide, of course! Don’t have any carrots or cucumber? No worries, just throw in something else that you have got, like sundried tomatoes or a few slices of apple.

You can often vary the exact ingredients and amounts in this recipe, but  always try to include some kind of cheese, avocado, beetroot and some kind of nut for maximum deliciousness!

Of course, you can use balsamic vinegar (or a different kind of vinegar or dressing) instead if you don’t have balsamic glaze.

Enjoy!
