you need something salty (the feta in this salad), something sweet (the candied walnuts and caramelised shallots), something bitter (the abundance of fresh parsley and the nuttiness of the quinoa play on this idea) and something fresh (the lemon zest)
and/or add chunks of roasted beetroot. chunks of roasted kumara and walnuts in a shallow serving bowl. A great salad to serve at this time of year when kumara are plentiful
Toss through toasted walnuts and drizzle over dressing. While vegetables are roasting, place walnuts in a pan over a low heat and toast for 10 minutes or until browned. 50g walnut pieces. 1/2 cup low-fat plain yoghurt*. 1 orange, 1/4 cup juice and zest

Spring has officially sprung and despite the average weather we woke up too in my neck of the woods, we can still feel that summer is on it’s way and soon it will be salad and BBQ weather

What really makes this salad good is the dressing the coriander and mint, some crunchy vegetables topped of with some peanuts and deep fried shallots and of course some chile
