Trinity Mouzon Wofford, founder of Golde, author of recently published cookbook Eating at Home and long-time friend of Mud Australia, brings a simplicity and freshness to all of her cooking. She shares with us a simple salad that is as delicious as it is nourishing.

"The beautiful thing about a chunky salad is you’re really just letting the ingredients sing through—no complicated dressings and tiny whisks needed. Focus on embracing what’s in season and really good, right now. That means celebrating tender spring peas and turnips."
