Ingredients

  • ¼ iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
  • ¼ small red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 large beetroot, julienned
  • ½ zucchini, finely sliced
  • ½ red onion, finely sliced
  • ½ granny smith apple, julienned
  • 3 radishes, finely sliced
  • 1 handful of snow peas, strings removed, sliced in half lengthways
  • 1 handful of flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and roughly chopped
  • 1 pomegranate, cut in half
  • Salt flakes and freshly ground peppe
  • r4 tbsp birdseed mix (chia seeds, poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseeds or whatever you have in the pantry)
  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped salted cashews

Lemon dressing

  • 75 ml good-quality olive oil
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon and juice of 2 lemons
  • Salt flakes and freshly ground pepper

Method

To make the lemon dressing, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and season to taste.

Add the lettuce, cabbage, beetroot, zucchini, onion, apple, radish, snow peas and parsley to a large bowl. Add the lemon dressing to taste and, using your hands, carefully toss.

Hit the back of each pomegranate half with a wooden spoon so that the juicy seeds pop out onto the salad. Season and gently toss.

Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle the seed mix and cashews over the top before serving.
