Vegan Beetroot Carrot Winter Salad #vegan #recipe #salad

With chunks of chopped cashews, chewy apricot, chickpeas and coriander. It is full of flavour and is the perfect healthy non-boring winter salad!

For the dressing I used fresh orange juice, coriander, extra virgin olive oil and cayenne pepper. Giving this salad a nice but gentle kick which compliments the sweetness from the orange and apricot.

Usually I’m not much of a salad girl, and I will always go for a warm salad over a cold one. But this salad has everything I crave from texture, sweetness, spice and flavour. I’m pretty sure you’ll love it too.

This salad comes together in less than 20 minutes and requires no cooking. It is a great quick side salad to serve with your next meal, take to work for lunch or contribute to a pot luck.

If you want to make this ahead or are serving for guests, add the cashews, apricots and half the coriander to top before serving.

One of me and my mums favourite lazy weeknight meals is a jacket potato. So you can guess what I first ate this salad with! It was so yummy and this salad will be on repeat for the next month!

As you can see from the photos this salad is so colourful, with tones of purple, pink and orange. It’s one of those salads that makes you instantly feel good for after eating.

And I’m pretty sure you’ll go back for seconds like all my family did!
