Make our Fave Summer Salads
Summers in Perth are amazing. The warmer weather is an invitation to get outdoors and catch up with friends at barbeques or the beautiful local beaches, including Cottesloe and Swanbourne. Let this be a catalyst for cooking creatively, while still being healthy. We love experimenting with bright, flavoursome ingredients in our Summer salads and share with you some of our favourite delicious recipes below.
