Lentil, Bulgur Wheat, Rocket, Chicory and Cherry Salad with Goat's Cheese

Crunchy leaves, hearty grains, juicy cherries, crunchy nuts and creamy cheese - this salad has got it going on. We love the savoury-sweet element that... fresh cherries bring to this dish. Cherries are a natural source of melatonin, a substance that regulates our sleep.
Enjoy it as a lighter meal, or bulk it up by adding grilled chicken, salmon, tempeh or tofu.
