Max La Manna

January - March 2023

We teamed up with low-waste chef and author Max La Manna to launch a zero-waste vegan salad. The salad combines repurposed surplus vegetables and other ingredients from the Salad Project, including kale, pearl barley, sweet potato, pomegranate seeds, shredded slaw, ‘no-waste cauli leaf pesto’, vegan feta, and spicy popcorn cauliflower, dressed with a pomegranate vinaigrette.

"Creating a zero-waste dish is something I am passionate about, and hope the dish will help raise awareness around the importance of reducing food waste whilst also supporting a vital charity.” Max La Manna.

£1 of every salad sold over the period was donated to The Salad Project’s partner charity Bite Back 2030, founded by chef Jamie Oliver. It is a youth-led movement working towards a world where all young people have the opportunity to be healthy, no matter where they live.

Thanks Max, for teaching us to embrace zero waste and hopefully start to make a small difference with this partnership!
