Assignment
I’m going to keep it simple for your first assignment. We’ve made 3 different salads with 3 different dressings. What I want you to try is making one of these salads with a tweak this time – just change one thing about the salad. Whether it’s swapping a vegetable for another, a vegetable for a fruit, the flavor in the dressing, combining one of the salads with one of the other dressings – it’s up to you!
Then submit your creations to the Facebook group! You can also submit any of the salads you made this month – I’d love to see what you’re up to!
