Healthy eats need not necessarily be bland tasting, and by mixing some zesty flavours from MARIGOLD 100% Juice we’ve created a wholesome mason jar salad recipe that can be cooked, packed and shared with your loved ones.
We decided on the use of mixing soba noodles with orange teriyaki chicken for that balance between your meat and greens. With a combination of an orange zesty chicken and carrot-ey dressing for the soba noodles, this is good tasting experience for the whole family!
