Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Drizzle generously with the honey-lemon dressing.
Finish with the chopped nuts and, if desired, a light sprinkle of BlixSam Lemon Leaf Seasoning for an extra burst of citrus flavour.
🌶️ Serving Suggestion
This fresh salad pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, pork belly, gammon, braai chops, steak, or any rich braai meal. The bright citrus dressing beautifully balances smoky, savoury flavours.
