I first made a variation on this salad before Christmas, and when trying to decide what to make for lunch at work this week I thought I’d give this another go, with some changes like the addition of cranberries and pomegranate molasses. It worked out pretty well too – although it’s not the prettiest of salads to photograph, that’s for sure!
Next week – the 18th to 24th of March is the inaugural Meat Free Week Challenge, which is an Australian initiative to encourage people to eat less meat, and at the same time raise some funds for Voiceless – an organisation that work to raise awareness about factory farming and the impact that eating too much meat has on animal welfare, the planet and our own health.
I got the River Cottage Veg Everyday cookbook for Christmas and despite flicking through it and wanting to cook everything from it then and there it has languished on my shelf with all my other cookbooks ever since. That was until I stumbled across Sarah’s blog, Down by the Sea where she will be making as many recipes from the book as she can this year, which inspired me to pull it back off the shelf and make a few things!
Another delivery of my organic veggie box arrived on Thursday, which was a great thing to come home to after spending over 13 hours at work that day. My mind is ticking over with things to make, but I decided to start with something simple for an easy Friday night dinner. The result was a veggie frittata with a nut-filled sweet potato salad. Delicious!
Veggie Fritters are something I love to make whenever I have a whole range of veggies to use up, because you really can throw in anything you like and they will taste delicious. So feel free to substitute the veggies I used for anything you have sitting in the fridge (or garden!)
