The clocks have changed and there’s a chill in the air - which means cosy winter meals are officially here to stay! 🍂
Our warm vegetable salad from our nutritional therapist, Ruth, is packed with skin-loving ingredients like walnuts, butternut squash, and beetroot - plus a simple homemade yogurt dressing that makes it oh-so satisfying.
💫 Bursting with vitamin C, beta-carotene, and omega-3s, it’s the ultimate glow-up for your skin and your lunchbox!
RECIPE - INGREDIENTS:
•750g root vegetables (I use butternut squash and beetroot – rich in skin supporting nutrients such as vitamin C and beta-carotene)
•1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
•1 tbsp avocado oil
•1 bunch of curly kale
•100g of nuts (I use walnuts, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamin E – great for the skin!)
•100g live natural yogurt
•1 tsp raw honey
•2 tsp apple cider vinegar
•2 British apples or pears, cubed
METHOD:
1.Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6
2.Peel and chop the root vegetables into large chunks and place in a large baking tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp avocado oil and season well
3.Bake for 30 mins
4.Meanwhile, remove the ribs from the kale (you can keep these for soups and stews) and tear leaves, then add to a large bowl with 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
5.Gently massage the oil through the leaves, then season and set aside
6.When cooked, remove the veg from the oven and leave to cool slightly
7.Put the nuts in a small pan over a medium heat and cook for 2-3 mins, until lightly toasted
8.Roughly chop
9.For the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, honey and vinegar and season lightly
10.Add the root vegetables, apples/pears and toasted nuts to the bowl of kale and toss together
