Tips from the author

This recipe makes a large volume of salad. If you only dress what you need, the remainder can be stored in the fridge and later steamed for 5-10 minutes for a wonderful warm dish.

To add more variety to the salad you can add some rainbow radish, red onion, walnuts and feta.

This salad was kindly shared by Aaron Natoli of Natoli Produce, Western Australia at the Perth Royal Show in September 2013.
