Vegetable salad

1. Slice the carrots and parsnip/Hamburg parsley/celery/sprouts into small pieces with a mandoline slicer or coarsely chop.
2. Mix the root vegetables and sprouts with the finely chopped kale, pumpkin seeds and raisins.
3. Whisk the rapeseed oil, water, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper to make a dressing and season well before adding to the salad.

Tips

Kale: Break the leaves from the stalk and trim away the centre. You can also buy kale ready chopped.
You can toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan or in the oven. This gives the salad a stronger umami taste.
