OneandahalfSlices Signature Salad
There is a lot of salad in the OneandahalfSlices universe. You know, #eatfoodnottoomuchmostlyplants. That said, this is easily the favorite. It is green, zesty, and light. It works as a side salad, say, to Spaghetti al Limone, Fettuccine Alfredo, or Chicken Korma, or stands on its own with a hard boiled egg and some extra avo. Trust me. Make it once and it will quickly become your favorite, your go-to, and just like that avocado and arugula will permanently live in your fridge.

Warm Brussels Caesar Salad
That’s a lot of adjectives in front of “Caesar Salad,” but I assure you this salad is not difficult. It is also fantastic. The spicy comes from cayenne. The crunchy comes from toasted almonds, and the quinoa if you feel so inclined to try crisping it. The tahini Caesar dressing is also king – super lemony and salty with parmesan cheese as any good Caesar should be.
The Florida Salad
This salad takes me home. Back to my home town in Florida to be exact. Crafted out of inspiration from Crush Xl – a young, vibey restaurant local to Melbourne that takes salads to another level. At first, this salad may look a little strange (rice noodles and coconut?). Fair. But you’d be surprised what a cup of mango, flakes of toasted coconut, & a handful of mint leaves can do to a dish. See for yourself…
