It is a refreshing alternative to traditional leafy salads, offering a satisfying crunch and a bright, acidic finish.

Perfect for a light lunch or as an accompaniment to roasted meats, this healthy recipe showcases seasonal fruit in a contemporary way. The combination of flat-leaf parsley and fresh chives adds an earthy depth that cuts through the honey-glazed seeds. It is a quick, gluten-free option for those looking for a flavourful, nutrient-dense addition to their weekly menu.
