I have such a sweet tooth. The honey and dried cranberries combine really well to satisfy my cravings for something sweet. I eat plain nuts pretty much every day but I also love trying different spice mixtures to give them a bit of a flavour boost on occasion.

Being a working mum, I like to make meals that are quick and easy with minimal fuss ingredients. But I also like my food to be tasty and nutritious. Feta cheese and sunblushed tomatoes are my go to ingredients here to add lots of flavour to this super healthy salad.
