Flash back 2 weeks ago to me shoving my face with soy ice-cream… watching 500 Days of Summer…and wondering why Prince Charming hasn’t called yet…., 5 minutes into their wedding and you would have already completed your E-Harmony profile, shaved your legs, and texted your last boyfriend.

If you don’t like olives, swap them for capers or roasted peppers.

Make the salad more filling by adding boiled potatoes or whole grain bread on the side.

For a vegan version, skip the eggs or replace them with roasted chickpeas.

Double the dressing and keep it in the fridge for up to a week to use on other salads.
