Hasty and tasty: A quick classic from the Doppio Zero menu
The holiday season may be just around the corner, but frankly, it’s still taking its sweet time to arrive. Even though the sun is shining, many of us feel stressed, tired, and just not so lekker. And when you’re exhausted, you don’t feel in the mood to cook or even eat out, especially when the takeaway menu is just there.
However, eating poorly will just make you feel worse. If you really want to perk up, following a whole food diet is best. But what if you don’t even have the energy to make something healthy? Don’t worry! Doppio Zero, AKA your favourite family-style restaurant, has a solution. While we love it when you come to plate up in person, we decided to share one of our favourite whole food plant-based recipes to try at home – it’s quick, healthy, and straight from the tasty Doppio Zero menu!

DOPPIO ZERO HOUSE SALAD
