'A salad... for dinner? F**k off'
You will never hear me utter those words because bitch, we don't just do no lettuce and tomato... Infact this bad boy isn't even cold!
Here's my cheeky fig and goats cheese salad to put a bit of pow in to your power salad!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown lentils (or a can)
1 can of canelini beans (drained and rinsed)
Garlic
200g kale
1 small-medium sweet potato
1 red onion chopped in to wedges.
4 figs (halved)
2 tbsp whole grain mustard
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey (optional)
50g walnuts
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Goats cheese (optional)
1. Start by chopping the sweet potato up, drizzling with oil, seasoning and banging them in to a pre heated air fryer or oven (180°) for 10 minutes
2. Pop your lentils on to boil (1/2 cup lentils+ 1 cup water)
3. Toast the walnuts and pumpkin seeds till they brown slightly, remove from the pan and roughly chop.
4. In a large bowl combine olive oil, mustard, balsamic vinegar, honey, give it a mix, then leave to the side.
5. When the potato has done its 10 minutes, add in the onion and figs, triple on a little more oil then pop them back in for another 10 minutes.
6. Chop your garlic and gently fry in a little oil using the pan you used to toast the nuts. Once fragrant add the kale, give it a good stir and pop on a lid until its starting to wilt, keep the lid on and turn off the heat.
7. When the lentils are cooked, add to the kale, along with the canelini beans.
8. Once the potato, onion and figs are done... move the figs to one side and pop in to the bowl with the mustard dressing then tip in the kale, lentils and beans. Season, give it all a good mix up then serve in bowls, top with the figs and crumble over a little goats cheese!
BOOM! Enjoy :)
