After one too many glasses of prosecco at a BBQ last night, I was feeling a little worse for wear this morning. So when lunchtime came around I was in need of a meal to make me feel more like a human being. With all the flavours of a take away to satisfy those hungover cravings but packed full of fresh healthy ingredients this salad was the perfect cure. Spicy and salty with crisp veggies and crunchy peanuts after a portion of this I was definitely feeling better.
