FOR THE SALAD 35 oz new potatoes, larger ones halved 3.5 oz green beans, halved 3.5 oz asparagus, peeled into strips 4 slices bread, torn into bite-sized pieces 3 tbsp sunflower seeds 4 tbsp pine nuts 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp dried red chilli flakes 3 oz rocket 1 oz chives, finely chopped 1 small bunch spring onions, finely sliced FOR THE DRESSING 3 oz spinach, washed 3.5 oz medium–firm tofu 1.8 oz oat milk 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp nutritional yeast 1 clove garlic ½ tsp smooth Dijon mustard ½ tsp maple syrup ½ lemon, juiced |
| STEP 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
STEP 2
Place a pan of salted water over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Add the new potatoes and simmer for 20 minutes, until soft. Add the green beans and asparagus for the last two minutes. Once boiled, drain, and leave to cool. STEP 3 Meanwhile, roast the bread, pine nuts, and seeds with chilli flakes, sea salt and olive oil on a large flat tray, for 8 minutes, tossing halfway through. You want the bread to be crispy and golden. Then leave to cool.
STEP 4
Next, make the dressing. Put the spinach into a bowl with boiling water, let it wilt for about 30 seconds, then drain and squeeze out any excess water. Add the spinach to a blender with the remaining dressing ingredients and 2 tbsp water, blend until you get a smooth green dressing.
STEP 5
Toss the cooked potatoes and veggies with the rocket, chives, spring onions and half of the crispy croutons and seeds. Drizzle over the creamy green sauce and toss to coat everything. Sprinkle with the remaining crispy seedy croutons to finish. |
