Carrot, brown rice, and walnut salad.

Serves 4 mains or 8-10 as a side dish,

Ingredients.

  • 4 -5 carrots, grated

  • 1/2 bag of baby spinach

  • 1 red onion, finely diced

  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs ( I used parsley)

  • 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds

  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped walnuts

  • 1/4 combined of cranberries and raisins

  • 1.5 cups brown rice ( or 1x pre-cooked pkt)

  • Dressing

  • 1/4 cup mayonaisse

  • 1 tbsp oil ( either: evoo, avocado, hemp or rapeseed)

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard

 

METHOD

Prepare brown rice first, either in a rice cooker, stovetop or using a precooked bag (huge time saver!).

Then chop all fresh salad ingredients and combine in a large bowl with the nuts, seeds and, dried fruit. Once rice has cooled slightly add this to bowl.

For the dressing whisk all ingredients in a small bowl. If serving immediately toss through the dressing. Otherwise add 1-2 tbsp per serve when you are serving.

Keeps fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days.
