The weather’s starting to warm up and we’re thinking salads. Especially for the warmer evenings where the kids love eating outside early enough before the crisp air sets in. It's a great way to get the kids to quickly eat their dinner then run off their endless amount of energy before bedtime. This salad is quite hearty and is great for lunch the next day when the flavour has continued to soak through and work it's magic on your tastebuds.

| Broccoli, Craisin and Feta Salad |
When I make dressed salads like this I often whip up some mayonnaise from the Thermomix EDC and just leave enough in the bowl to coat the ingredients. So simple and saves an extra bowl to wash up. We served it along with my Sweet Potato, Chickpea and Millet burgers and some sliced potato chips cooked on the bbq. Yum and fun!
