Greenilicious

We all know that greens are good for us. Nutritional powerhouses, greens are low in kilojoules and are among the richest sources of fibre, protein and essential vitamins around. Yet these humble vegetables are usually overlooked in everyday meals. Too often we’re content to drizzle dressing on a few lettuce leaves and call it a day, thereby missing crucial opportunities for extra flavour and nutrition.
