Summer is here! Well and truly. Perth is HOT. Tonight is a real stinker in fact, one of those nights that only a salad or a smoothie will do for dinner.

Maybe a salad like this one perhaps? A sweet, crunchy, nutty salad that is perfect on its own or alongside some grilled pork belly. Mmmmm-mmmm! Delish.

NOTE: This salad is one of the beauties I contributed to Jasmine Mathew's upcoming Summer Cleanse. Need a bit of a cleansing in your life? Suss the details out here and jump on Jasmine's waiting list! Alright, onto the recipe...
