Winter Salad Bowl
Enjoy crunchy, fresh vegetables over the winter months in this salad, complete with a sweet and spicy dressing. Perfect with braised meats and casseroles.
Ingredients
| 100g | pumpkin seeds |
| 2 | large carrots, coarsely grated |
| 200g | spinach leaves, washed and thinly sliced |
| 1 | red onion, thinly sliced |
| ½ | red cabbage, core removed and very thinly sliced |
| 1 | green pepper, thinly sliced |
| 2 tbsp | red wine vinegar |
| 6 tbsp | olive oil |
| ½ tsp | dried chilli flakes |
| 1 tbsp | runny honey |
| sea salt and freshly ground back pepper |
Method
Lightly toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry frying pan.
Place the carrots, spinach, onion, cabbage, pepper and pumpkin seeds in a bowl and toss together to mix.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, chilli and honey. Season with salt and pepper and pour over the salad. Mix well and transfer to a serving bowl.
PS… If you are preparing this ahead of time, keep the dressing separate and toss into the salad just before serving, otherwise it will become too soggy.
