A recipe for change
For a simple and fresh salad, blitz up some bread with grated garlic, a splash of olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper into breadcrumbs and bake until golden brown. Layer up the Mediterranean-Style Grains with sliced heritage tomatoes and then top with fresh basil leaves and the fragrant breadcrumbs. Serve and enjoy!
