We’ve worked a delicious new twist into our Baked Yam & Brussels Sprout Sals this morning with a gorgeous H**p & ACV Bail Dressing!
We’ve whisked up a creamy H**p Farm New Zealand H**p Heart & H**p Seed Oil dressing with a touch of ACV, a wee splash of Dark Agave & a loaded it with 3 types of Basil Microgreens 1 from tinyspacegreenz & two others grown right here at The Pantry! The result? A delicious, creamy & fresh flavour punch that elevates one of our already most-popular winter salads and provides a health kick to help see you through these chilly days fighting fit!
