As the hot weather continues, we’re finding ourselves craving fresh and healthy salads. Though limp lettuce and a lack of imagination often leaves us reaching for unhealthy alternatives. Follow Amelia’s steps and you’ll never be bored of salad again…

You’ll need:
Chickpeas
Sweetcorn
Avocado
A lemon
A carrot
Spring onions
Cherry tomatoes
Lettuce

Method:
Start by adding chickpeas to the jar. They’re a good source of protein for lunch time and help to keep you filled for longer – the perfect substitute to bread and pasta.
Next top it up with sweetcorn, which complements the chickpeas.
Then add some avocado. Before adding the avocado to the jar, cover it with lemon juice to stop it from going brown.
Add a layer of grated carrot and sprinkle some spring onions on top.
Top it up with cherry tomatoes.
Finally, add your lettuce on top so that it doesn’t get soggy.

It’s as easy as that. You’re left with a nutritious and delicious rainbow salad. Amelia recommends adding your fruit to your salad, as it’ll leave you with less to carry to work and also goes well with the salad.
