Australian native botanicals provide incredibly unique flavour profiles and as an avid lemon lover, the distinctive freshness and depth of lemon myrtle in particular is way up there for my palette. This salad was invented on a lazy summer night, and with any easy to achieve kitchen inventions, I soon began replicating. If you don’t have Mango is season, try with pear. It’s really about getting that lovely bitter green of rocket balanced with the sweetness of fruit, without over doing the sugar. The greens, protein and olive oil combo is perfect for anyone looking for a healthy skin, mood and gut, and this recipe is Mind Body Reset friendly.
