Tips and Variations
There should be enough dressing to do the salad and the fish dish for this week (unless you like your salads heavily dressed).
If you have the time, drain a tin of chickpeas coat in 1/2 tsp paprika, salt and pepper and roast in the oven for 40 minutes. Great for extra protein and the crunch is amazing in the salad.
