Quick and healthy this Summer Salad Bowl is bursting with goodness. Topped with an indulgent creamy avocado basil dressing this recipe is ideal on a hot Summer day.

Quinoa adds some healthy plant-based protein while to vegetables are kept raw for maximum nutritional benefits. The creamy avocado dressing gives the perfect balance. We currently have a glut of homegrown basil so I add it into everything.

I used the Veggie Bullet below to prepare the vegetables. So speedy and efficient, it makes spiralising so easy. You can read my review here.

Spiralising is a great way to add more raw vegetables to your diet.
