Salmon and Eggs – a bizarre marriage made in heaven. 😇 You can’t beat it! You get a great blend of healthy fats and protein, and they do say that taste is natures guide to nutrition. So lap it up all the yumminess with a 40 hour fermented slice of Sourdough Toast, which has a similar bounce to crumpets and just hits the spot. Add a little original Pesto with a Honey and Balsamic dressing dashed over a bed of Rocket, and life is gooooood! All the health benefits, without any gluten or dairy. And for a top tip, poach your eggs in little poachies. Voila. 👌🏻
