Salad dressing is being drizzled over a winter citrus & baby green salad.

Winter Citrus & Baby Green Salad with a Honey Dijon dressing, served alongside Creamy Cauliflower with Spinach + Bok Choy Baked Penne

During the winter months, the 2 things I crave most are sunshine and cozy fires. This meal was inspired by those cravings to deliver a wonderful balance between the bright fresh flavours in the salad, and a ‘warm hug’ from the comforting baked pasta.

Packed full of flavour and loaded with goodness, Earthbound Farm Organic Greens & Vegetables ensure that you are not just making healthier choices for yourself, but for the world too!  Plus, the variety and convenience of Earthbound Farm products makes it so easy to eat and cook more whole, fresh, organic produce.
