Ultimate Summer BOSH! Bowl
Once BBQ season hits, it’s every vegan for themselves. With meat off the menu, we always put big efforts into our salad game and, if we do say so ourselves, we have nailed this one. This is one of the best side salads you're ever gonna get your hands on. Fresh, zingy, hearty, it's got it all. Just remember to make plenty of it because even your hardcore carnivores will want a taste. This is a super healthy vegan recipe, fresh and full of nutrients. A beautiful plant-based summer dish.
