It does not taste like fish. I use the ones from Trader Joes and use 1 large filet, which is about a tsp. worth. If you are completely averse or do not eat fish, a tsp. of capers will be a nice substitute. The dressing can be made in advance, mind as well double it if you like having dressing on hand (which is key if you appreciate meal prep). 1 large or 2 small fennel bulbsextra virgin olive oilsea salt and pepper1 bunch of lacinato kale, stemmed and chopped1/2 cup cooked garbanzo beans1/3 cup golden raisins1/3 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese1/3 cup toasted pinenuts herby lemony vinaigrette.

I’m sorry for not posting any recipes last week – I went on holiday and took some time off from technology, which was amazing!

Carrot, Lentil & Raisin Salad

I’m back now though, feeling totally recharged and bursting with a million new ideas for awesome recipes, including this one for a carrot, lentil and raisin salad tossed with quinoa, pint nuts and roasted butternut squash and mixed with a tahini, tamari, lime and olive oil dressing. It may sound like a long title for a recipe, but trust me it’s super easy! It also makes for a perfect spring dish as it’s very light yet the squash adds a filling, satisfying texture to each bite and all the fibre and protein from the quinoa and lentils means each plateful actually really fills you up. The wow factor of the salad however lies in the inclusion of the raisins though – they just taste incredible. Rosemary Roasted Squash and Mushroom Salad. I love a big lunch time salad, it fills you up the perfect amount but doesn’t leave you feeling too full and sleepy so you’re good to go for the rest of the day.

Rosemary Roasted Squash and Mushroom Salad

As the weather gets colder, however, I think it’s nice to warm your salad up a little and make it a little heartier, which is why I added roasted butternut squash cubes and sautéed mushrooms to this dish. The beauty of this salad is that the roasting process really heightens the squash’s original flavour, but it also allows the cubes to absorbs all the deliciousness of the dried rosemary that is sprinkled on it.

I sautéed the mushrooms, pine nuts and pumpkin seeds with the same dried rosemary which meant that they really complemented each other perfectly. BUTTERNUT SALAD WITH CIDER DRESSING — Sprouted Kitchen. This is the green salad that you make for people who think green salads are boring.

Poppy Seed-Crusted Squash with a Sweet Tahini Dressing. For me salad is one of those meals that can either be totally divine and totally hunger sating, or unbelievably boring and hungry making. This salad is definitely the first. The combination of flavours is so wonderful. Between the sweet squash coated with poppy seeds, juicy tomatoes, crunchy pine nuts, courgettes and beans every tastebud is hit. The sweet, creamy dressing with a hint of chilli, however, really brings the whole thing together. CHOPPED SALAD WITH QUINOA, SWEET POTATOES + APPLES. I knew it would work it's way into my writing at some point, but I have yet to mention here that I spend some of my days working at Trader Joes.

Before cucumber season is gone, here’s a recipe we whipped up on a whim one night with our garden plenty. It’s slightly spicy from the red curry paste, and a wonderful jumble of textures with the crunchy cucumbers and cashews.
