Raw Sprout Salad with Cashew Cream
There are so many things you can do with the humble sprout. Roasted, sautéed, smashed, or shredded in this case! This is a great dish if you are looking for a seasonal veg, but also something lighter and fresher. Make sure to massage the shredded sprouts to help soften and break them down.
RecipesServes 2 as a main, 4 as a side.
Ingredients:
- 400g sprouts
- 2 tbsp dried cranberries
- Handful of parsley, chopped finely
- Zest of half a lemon
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
For the lemon-cashew dressing:
- 100g cashews, soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes and drained
- ½ lemon
- 1 bulb garlic, peeled
- 50 ml water
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp Malden salt
- Pinch cracked black pepper
Method:
- Slice your sprouts as thinly as possible, so they are almost shredded. Otherwise, use a shredder to get them as fine as possible. Transfer to a mixing bowl and use your hands to massage the sprouts with the oil for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Make your dressing by blitzing all the ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a dish and drizzle over your creamy dressing.
- Add the cranberries and chopped parsely and finish with a last drizzle of olive oil and pinch of salt and pepper. Serve as it is, or mix together to combine!
