How to create your own #KnorrSignatureSalads

  • Impress your guests by cutting vegetables in long equal strips instead of plain rounds.
  • Arrange the vegetable strips in zig-zag formation to add a wow factor to the presentation.
  • Use a melon baller to create small balls of avocado – a fun way to add something extra to your signature salad.
  • Pick small leaves of coriander off the stems for a refined look that you would find in a restaurant dish.
