PRIMAVERA SALAD WITH SPICY GRAPEFRUIT VINAIGRETTE
4 steps
Prep:15minCook:10min
This salad is so delicious I made it 2 days in a row, once as a main and once as a side 😍 The combo of beautiful fresh vegetables, with creamy butterbeans, refreshing mint and filling quinoa, is taken to a whole new level with the dijon chilli grapefruit dressing. It’s spicy, tangy and brings a very exciting touch to the salad. It’s my first time using this dressing, but it definitely won’t be the last! Now you can whisk the ingredients with a fork, but if you have a small blender on hand, I recommend using it for this one. The high speed will emulsify the dressing better and create an almost creamy feel to it. And as always, we’ve carefully chosen the ingredients so you get a balanced, nourishing and satisfying meal, and with over 10 unique plants and 23g of fibre, this one is definitely a winner for our gut health!
