This is delicious salad which is full of colour & easy to make...sure to go down a treat!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups kale (stalks removed)

• 1 small head of broccoli

• ½ red cabbage, chopped into 6 large chunks

• 4 large peeled carrots

• large handful of parsley

• ½ cup nuts of your choice e.g. almonds, cashews, walnuts

• 3 tbsp sunflower seeds

For the dressing:

• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 2/3 cup lemon juice (or juice of three lemons)

• 1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and grated

• 4 tsp dijon mustard

• 3 tsp honey

How to make:

1. Firstly, add the nuts to a food processor (set up with the normal chopping blade inside the bowl) and pulse until they are coarsely chopped. Remove from the food processor and put them into a small bowl, then set aside.

2. Next put the parsley into the food processor and pulse until very finely chopped.

3. Now prepare the broccoli. Remove the stalk and chop off the tough outer layer. Then pop the soft inner part of the broccoli into the food processor bowl.  Chop the broccoli head into about 4-5 chunks then place into the food processor along with the red cabbage.  Pulse a couple of times to break down the broccoli and red cabbage, continue to pulse until both are coarsely chopped.  Remove the broccoli and cabbage from the food processor and transfer into a large bowl.

4. Put the kale leaves in the food processor and pulse until they are in small bite sized pieces.

5. Remove the blade from the food processor bowl (you can leave the kale in there) and attach the coarse grating blade.  Turn the food processor on high and grate the carrots.  Add the kale and carrots to the broccoli, cabbage and parsley and stir together.

6. Next, put all the ingredients for the dressing into a jam jar, put the lid on and shake until combined, pour this over the chopped and grated veggies and mix through.  Transfer into a serving bowl or dish and sprinkle with the chopped nuts and seeds.

Tips:

• Add chickpeas, edamame beans or any pulses that you like to the salad to make it more filling.

• Serve with chicken, meat, fish, tofu, temph or any other protein rich foods you enjoy.
