Give Your Salad a New Twist

Ingredients

1 carrot

1 parsnip

1 green/spring onion

1 zucchini

2 radishes

handful walnuts (raw)

1/2 green pepper, sliced

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/3 fresh fennel bulb, chopped

purple cabbage

raspberries

1 pear, diced

olive oil

Juice of an orange

salt and pepper

Dark cherry juice—tiny amount (I added this to complement the raspberries) *optional*

Lime juice (to balance the sweetness of the juices).

Asian garlic chilli sauce, just a bit—not to make it spicy, unless you want to!

about 2 tbsp tahini


Instructions


Watch the chili sauce--a little goes a long way!


ONE: Chop/dice/slice all the fruits and veggies, except the raspberries. If you prepare some of them differently, like slicing the zucchini with a vegetable peeler into "noodle" shape, grating the carrot, etc, it makes the texture more interesting.

TWO: Toss all the veggies, fruits, walnuts and the parsley in a large bowl.

THREE: Put all the rest of the ingredients in a blender, or just stir/whisk.

FOUR: When you are ready to eat, give the dressing a shake/mix, and pour over the salad.
