Chickpea avocado salad
This is an extremely filling salad that pairs perfectly with a protein! If you can't find ripe avocados, you can always make it a chickpea salad and add more fresh herbs or lettuce.

Perfect marinated schnitzel
I typically don't use ingredients that are from a but this recipe was inspired by having really high quality jam from a winery. Often people go places, and buy really beautiful jams and then wonder what else they can do with them besides putting it on toast. So here you go! If you don't have jam of this flavor you can just use honey or silan instead
