Tons of people turn their noses up at the mention of a salad, wondering how the hell it would fill them up for a few hours. But that’s not the case –  like with this salad, which is robust, healthy and super-filling.

The prep really is minimal and you’ll be eating it less than 30 minutes after you start the cooking – and just check out the gorgeous colours.

Instructions

Step 1

You could do this with large carrots but the small baby ones give the salad a lovely sweetness.

Pop them into a frying pan over a low heat. They’ll take about 20 minutes to cook and the slower the better as the sweetness will come out of them nice and slowly.

This works so well in the summer and because of the amount of veg, the cheese – the carbs and fats, balanced perfectly – there is no way you could be hungry after eating this!
