BEN'S GRATED SALAD WITH LEMON HERB DRESSING

Posted On: 2018-12-16 10:34:06

INGREDIENTS:

For the salad

1 large beetroot

2 medium sized carrots

1 small head of broccoli

1 red onion, finely diced

1 spring onion, thinly sliced

For the dressing

Juice & zest of 1 big lemon

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 sprig of rosemary finely chopped

Small handful of mint finely chopped

Salt & pepper

For the nut & seed sprinkle

¼ cup almonds roughly chopped

½ cup mixed seeds (we used sunflower,

pumpkin seeds & sesame seeds)

¼ cup thread coconut

2 sprigs of rosemary, bruised with the

back of a heavy knife

Pinch salt

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

Heat your oven to 200˚C.

Combine the ingredients for the nut & seed sprinkle in a baking

tray.

Cook in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes until fragrant &

toasted, stirring occasionally.

Once cooked, remove from the oven & allow to cool. Remove

the rosemary from the nut & seed mixture.

Using either a food processor or a box grater grate the beetroot,

carrot & broccoli. For the broccoli you are only grating the

florets not the stem or stalk. Keep these in a freezer bag to use the

next time you make stock.

Using the food processor will be quicker, but will result in a finer

texture. We used a box grater for our recipe.

Add the red onion & spring onion to the grated vegetables &

mix to combine.

Combine the dressing ingredients in a glass jar.

When ready to serve, toss the salad with the dressing & sprinkle

with the nut & seed mixture.

TIME SAVING TIP:

This grated vegetable salad without dressing can last up to 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container. We don’t recommend making it this far in advance, but you can make it one or two days beforehand to save you time on the day. Additionally, these toasted nuts can be made & stored in a glass jar in the pantry for several weeks.
