SAUCE

(mix together well)
Then the rest is not set in stone.
I just get some broccoli (raw) and throw it in the food processor and chop it into pretty small pieces,
do the same with the purple grapes
I add crumbled bacon and some sunflower kernals
You can basically add whatever you want and just eyeball it and adjust the sauce accordingly.
