Autumn salad inspiration

We all need a little inspiration to jazz up dinner from time to time and let’s face it, the salad repertoire can become boring faster than you can say the word ‘kale.'

Here are a few little gems we have found to brighten up those plates this autumn!

Roasted Broccoli Salad with Lemons and Almonds

• 2 heads broccoli, chopped finely and roasted in a moderate oven for approx. 20 mins
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins

• A handful of chopped roasted or raw almonds

Toss all ingredients in a dressing of salt, pepper and olive oil.
