A beautiful and vibrant red salad that’s like a slaw in texture - but packs a little more nutrition. With the quinoa, edamame beans and avocado there’s plenty of protein to keep you full until the next meal. However if you are active or having a higher protein need you might want to add some halloumi or feta as well. The ginger and tahini dressing provides a delicious taste as well as providing some calcium from the tahini.
For me, a slaw, is right up there as a great salad. A red cabbage slaw with its vibrant colour is just the best. I often feature red cabbage in a salad - it provides a great crunch and helps to fill you up with the fibre - without adding many calories. This salad can be served on its own or alongside a BBQ or just some grilled chicken or salmon.
We love black rice. It is higher in fibre than the other rices. It also contains some protein and so this salad will fill you up and keep you satisfied all day long. This is perfect on its own for lunch or you could serve in the evening alongside some grilled salmon, chicken or a BBQ.
This was inspired by a jar of Brindisa Monjardin organic lentils. The lentils looked so pretty that I wanted them to be the star of the salad. Do use whatever lentils are your favourite - although if you do find the Brindisa brand then I urge you to give them a go. This salad takes minutes to make and can be enjoyed on its own or alongside some grilled salmon or chicken.
A salad is normally associated with spring and summer, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We enjoy a salad all year round - it’s a great way to pack in your vegetables at lunch. However, the key to a winter salad is to incorporate some warm elements. This could be some warm roasted vegetables, just cooked lentils or quinoa or some heat with a spice such as harissa.
