I have recently started a sugar detox and whilst obviously a salad doesn’t usually have sugar, just being on the detox makes me a lot more creative with the what I cook, it gets me out of my comfort zone. Not only is there no sugar (including no fruit or starchy vegetables) I’ve cut out nuts too. I came up with this recipe as a means to add some colour into my salad via rainbow chard, and lots of nice avocado fat both in the dressing and the salad itself. A good old BBQ chook is a bit of a lifesaver too.
