Blood orange, red cabbage and lentil salad

Serves 2

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 blood orange, peeled and thinly sliced
1 red cabbage, finely shredded
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 x 400g can of green or brown lentils, drained and rinsed
seeds of 1 pomegranate (about 200g)
2 T shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
4 T extra virgin olive oil squeeze of juice from an unwaxed lemon
small handful of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
a pinch of sea salt and black pepper

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine the orange slices, cabbage, carrot, lentils, pomegranate seeds and pistachios.

2. In a jug, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and chopped parsley, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

3. Stir the dressing through the salad until evenly distributed.

Cook's note: Buy pomegranate seeds instead of a whole pomegranate, and shelled pistachios, to save time (and reduce mess in the kitchen).
