Pea-and-baby marrow salad

4
Easy
10 minutes

“This salad is great with grilled meat because it’s sweet, fresh, acidic and has a lot of really good texture. It also gives the impression that you’ve done a lot of work, when really none is required at all – it’s ready in just 10 minutes.”- Khanya Mzongwana

Wine/Spirit Pairing
Kaapzicht Granietkop Chenin Blanc
