While I do love salad, many common salad leaves aren’t exactly a powerhouse of nutrients. So, if you are going to eat it, it may as well be worth it, right. In the same way I don’t go to McDonalds for a ‘healthy’ wrap, if I am going to have a salad, I want to feel as nourished as a vegan yoga instructor afterwards. So, lately, I have been coming up with salads that give a bit more bang for buck. Particularly in winter, when leaves just don’t seem to cut it.
So, I present to you, one of my new favourite side dishes. A raw broccoli salad coated in a nutty curry cream dressing with roast almonds and sweet raisins. It is perfection. Filling, nutritious, tasty!
