METHOD

Make the grains & greens mix:

• In a bowl, combine the cooked grains and lentils with the shredded kale, olive oil and spring onion, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Prep the veggies:

• Lightly blanch the broccoli, sugar snaps, and peas for 1–2 minutes in boiling water, then plunge into ice water to keep their colour and crunch. Drain and pat dry.

• Cook the edamame as per packet instructions.

Assemble the salad:

• In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, apple, edamame, blanched veg and fresh herbs.

• Add the grains & greens mix and toss everything together.

Make the dressing:

• In a blender or food processor, combine coriander, green chilli, garlic, cumin, turmeric, salt, olive oil, tahini, and lemon juice.

• Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water if needed to thin to your desired consistency.

• Taste and adjust salt, lemon or chilli to your liking.

Dress & finish:

• Drizzle the dressing over the salad, toss well to combine, and top with a sprinkle of mixed seeds.
