Unique Rainbow Salad

Today, I’m excited to share a vibrant and colorful recipe that is perfect for any occasion. This unique rainbow salad is not only visually stunning but also packed with a variety of flavors and textures that will surely impress your taste buds.

Ingredients:

  • 100g purple cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 100g carrots, julienned
  • 100g yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 100g red cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 50g cooked quinoa
  • 50g mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews)
  • Handful of fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, mint)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • serving platter

Start by preparing all your vegetables and fruits, ensuring they are washed and cut as per the ingredient list. In a large mixing bowl, combine the purple cabbage, carrots, yellow bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and cooked quinoa. Toss everything together gently.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Sprinkle the mixed nuts and fresh herbs over the salad for an added crunch and burst of flavor. Give everything a final toss before transferring the salad to a serving platter.

Serving:

This unique rainbow salad weighs approximately 600g once prepared. It serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 150g. An estimated calorie count per serving is around 200 calories.

One clever tip for this salad is to add a squeeze of fresh orange juice to the dressing for a citrusy twist that complements the flavors beautifully.

I encourage you to give this colorful and nutritious salad a try. Feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients and make it your own unique creation. Enjoy!
