Crunchy winter salad
Winter vegetables are perfect for healthy raw salads. I make this crunchy winter salad regularly, using up leftover root vegetables in my fridge and larder. Sometimes I add some chilli to it too, which is perfect with grilled kebabs in a wrap. If I have some beetroot or courgette I grate some of these into the salad too, and I end up with a super-healthy salad. If you don’t have walnut oil, don’t worry about it, just use olive oil instead! If you have some fresh herbs – parsley, basil, coriander, dill or chives – chop some up and scatter it over the salad just before serving!
Ingredients
Method
- In a small bowl, whisk together the walnut oil, vinegar, garlic and mustard. Season to taste and set aside.
- Thinly slice the cabbage, radish, onion and celery. Put these into a large mixing bowl.
- Grate the carrot and celeriac and add these to the bowl.
- Pour over the dressing, add the nuts or seeds and toss well.
- Let it rest for 10-30 minutes before serving, if you can.
