Salad just for the summer?
Not if it’s packed with roast veg and warming lentils like my warm winter salad with roast veg and toasted hazelnuts! It’s pretty substantial with the gorgeous earthy puy lentils and lots of crispy roast veg.
Of course, you can add any veg you want, but I decided on broccoli (so good roasted), cauliflower (my favourite) and sweet red peppers.
And then topped with my tahini dressing, lots of popping pomegranate seeds and crunchy hazelnuts. Seriously tasty.
Did you know I used to work for a salad company? So I know a few things about leaves I’ll have you know 😉–but my favourites are still peppery rocket and sweet pea shoots.
Oh, and spinach, of course, just for its incredible versatility in both hot and cold dishes.
I hope you enjoy this tasty and nourishing salad. xx
