Most salads, when made well, are a great way to get plenty of vegetables into your day. One of the things I love most about salads is experimenting with and trying lots of different flavour combinations.
This feta, pine nut and sweet potato salad has the perfect mix of sweet and salty, whilst being low GI and surprisingly filling.
