Who said you need leaves?!
Over the years salads have included a whole bunch of leafy greens topped with salad dressing. This salad is turning that idea on it’s head. No salad dressing? No problem! Make this juicy-sweet leafless salad, which uses the natural sugars in nectarines for flavour. Did we mention it takes five minutes to make? Perfect for the super busy working woman who’s still trying to live a healthy lifestyle.
