There is no greater feeling than that of falling into your apartment with sweat pouring down your face, neck, chest and legs after a gruelling jog. And nothing rewards a good jog as well as a salad does. It’s a much deserved treat you know you won’t regret or feel guilty about later. Oh and did I mention these treats are amazingly delicious?
