This is what you eat when the turkey is over and you can’t face another slice of chocolate cake. It’s a crunchy, health-kick of a salad.

Serves 3

300g sprouts, thinly sliced (red and green)
4 sticks of celery, thinly sliced
50g blanched almonds, lightly toasted
Handful of flat leaf parsley leaves
2 red chicory, roughly chopped
60g pomegranate seeds

For the Dressing

1/2 garlic clove, grated
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 honey
1/2 lemon juice

Method

In a small bowl add and mix together all of the ingredients for the dressing. Taste to double check the seasoning. In a large serving bowl add all of the ingredients for the salad together and mix in the dressing. Serve straight away!
