Easy Jewelled Winter Salad
Vibrant, nutritious and full of tasty textures, this is a slightly speedier version of the one in Healthy Made Simple. Fennel, radicchio and quinoa are mixed with crunchy toasted pistachios and seeds, and the little juicy flavour bombs of pomegranate seeds. This salad keeps really well for lunch the next day, just dress it when you’re ready to eat.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the quinoa in a medium saucepan with 250ml / 8.5 fl oz water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 10–⏱️ 12 minutes, until the water is almost all absorbed. Then turn off the heat, cover and leave to steam in the residual heat for a further 5–⏱️ 7 minutes.

While the quinoa is cooking, preheat the oven to 140°C fan / 290°F. Put the sunflower seeds and pistachios on a small baking tray and spread out evenly. Place in the oven for 8–⏱️ 10 minutes until golden. Remove the tray from the oven and, once cool enough to handle, roughly chop and set aside.

In a large bowl, toss the fennel in the lemon juice to stop it discolouring. To the same bowl, add the radicchio, herbs, ¾ of the pomegranate seeds, the cooked quinoa and a large pinch of sea salt flakes.
