5 nutritious winter warming salads

5 nutritious winter warming salads

A salad is normally associated with spring and summer, but it doesn’t have to be that way. At The Health Boost we enjoy a salad all year round - it’s a great way to pack in your vegetables at lunch. However, the key to a winter salad is to incorporate some warm elements. This could be some warm roasted vegetables, just cooked lentils or quinoa or some heat with a spice such as harissa. A salad doesn’t have to be time consuming to prepare either. Save some roasted veg or quinoa from the night before or batch cook on a Sunday evening for the week ahead. We also love the ready cooked lentil and quinoa pouches from Merchant Gourmet for when time is tight.

Shredded brussel sprout and chestnut salad

We couldn’t get through winter without a fresh sprout salad. The chilli flakes provide the warmth - but you could heat the chestnuts up for a few minutes for even more warmth.Click here for recipe
