This salad is a plant polyphenol powerhouse, loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C, and equally packed with delicious flavours and textures.

dinnerlunch
gluten-free optionsaladseasonal

Ingredients

Serves 2

DRESSING

TO SERVE

Method

  1. Fill a large pot with water and add the beets, vinegar and salt. Bring to boil, then simmer for 30–45 minutes, or until the beets are cooked through. To test them, insert a skewer into a beet. It should pierce through with ease.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the pecans. Heat a skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil and pecans, and toast for 2–5 minutes, or until they begin to soften and become fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  3. Remove the arils from the pomegranate, discarding any skin and pith. Toss the arils with the salad leaves, mint, dill and toasted pecans.
  4. Add the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together until combined (you may wish to use a stick blender). Set aside.
  5. Once the beets are cooked, drain immediately. Allow to cool for 5–10 mins, then use your hands to peel off the skin (it should come off easily). Slice them into thin wedges, then toss through the salad with the dressing. Serve immediately, with a sprinkle of flaked sea salt, if using.

Reishi truffles

Jade Woodd

Reishi is a medicinal mushroom with a reputation for being a profound immune stimulator. In powder form, you can enjoy it added to chocolate, homemade lattes, smoothies or baked goods. 

dessertsnack
gluten-free option

Ingredients

Makes 20

To decorate

Method

  1. Chop the chocolate very finely, and place in a heat-proof bowl. Set aside. 
  2. Heat the coconut cream in a small saucepan until almost simmering then immediately pour over the chocolate. Allow to stand for 3 minutes, then whisk together until combined and glossy. 
  3. Add in the peanut butter and reishi powder, then mix well. Refrigerate for 2 or more hours, then roll into balls (about 1 tbsp for each). You’ll need to do this quickly, so as not to melt the chocolate in your hands. 
  4. The truffles are ready to eat at this stage, or you can dip them in extra melted chocolate and then roll in crushed peanuts, shredded coconut, cocoa powder or whatever you like!

TIP: You’ll be able to find reishi powder in most health food stores or online.

Quinoa pasta with hemp pesto and sautéed greens

Jade Woodd

Need a nourishing dose of greens? Traditionally, basil was used to help ease symptoms of colds, while the garlic in this dish adds a strong antimicrobial component.

dinnerlunch
gluten-free optionkid-friendly
Italian

Ingredients

Serves 2

Pesto

Method

  1. First, make the pesto. Add the basil and hemp seeds to a food processor and pulse until it forms small chunks. Add the parmesan and garlic, and pulse 6–8 times, then turn on the food processor (so it’s running) and pour in the olive oil. Finally, transfer to a jar and stir in the salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to the boil, then add 2 tsp of salt. Add the pasta and cook per the packet instructions.
  3. Meanwhile, to prepare the broccoli and zucchini, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ½ tbsp olive oil, then add the zucchini and broccoli in a single layer. Season to taste, then cook for 5 minutes. Carefully flip the veg and cook for a further 3 minutes. 
  4. Drain cooked pasta and rinse. Stir the pesto through the warm pasta, then toss through the sautéed zucchini and broccoli. Sprinkle with some extra hemp seeds (optional) and serve immediately.

TIP: If you prefer, you can substitute the vegan parmesan with ¼ cup of cashews and ¼ cup of nutritional yeast blitzed together in a blender.
