A few months back I had a wonderful idea. I was testing out a vegan moussaka recipe from one of my all-time favourite cookbooks, Green Kitchen Travels, and as I was whisking the vegan béchamel sauce I had a wonderful thought. Since I am a fairly busy …

This is hands down my favourite salad that we make at work. Like I’ve mentioned before
