Rainbow Salad

Everyone needs a good basic salad. One that they can throw together quickly, that goes with just about anything and tastes really good. It’s the salad you make when racing out the door to a friends BBQ. Or for those nights when you are having an easy family dinner at home. Served with fish, chicken, beef, lamb – anything really, this rainbow salad is so often my go to!

So why do I love it so much? It’s so simple and delicious. You can pretty much open your fridge and use any salad ingredients you have on hand. The list of ingredients I’ve included is not hard and fast – feel free to use what you have. They key is mixing up the colours, textures and flavours of what you have. Crunch from the lettuce and carrot, sweetness from the capsicum, juiciness from the tomatoes, creaminess from the avocado and saltiness from the olives and fetta all combine together to make this salad sing. So as long as you are adding in a variety of colour, flavour and texture, your rainbow salad will be a winner.
