Recipe: Veggie Balls Salad

MANILA, Philippines — Want a meal that is both healthy and easy to prepare?

At a recent summer cooking session in Ikea, Pasay City, the international lifestyle brand presented several simple recipes – with ingredients that one can simply mix together to form a new dish.

Among these was the Veggie Balls Salad, featuring Ikea's new Veggie Balls, a plant-based alternative to meatballs. One simply has to deep-fry or air-fry the Veggie Balls to one's liking and mix these with the rest of the ingredients as pictured above.

According to the brand’s Life at Home Report 2023, 38% of Filipinos think a home-cooked meal is one of the things that bring them the most joy in their life.
