I’m fully aware that you hardly need another recipe for salad, however, I’ve got a few ingredients that turn this simple and easy to prepare salad into a rather nutrition-packed meal.

According to my Apple Watch and Strava, I finished the race in 1:54:55, but it seems that the official time is in fact 1:55:22. Overall, not bad, but I could have finished in 1:45 (or even less) – as planned – if it wasn’t for the pre-race jitters….
