Green Vege Salad
Ingredients
2 bunches broccolini, ends chopped off
2 red onions, sliced horizontally
250g greens beans
250g green peas (can substitute for edamame beans or cooked/canned legumes of choice)
1/2 cup natural or roasted almonds
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
Method
-
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celcius. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Line the tray with red onion slices & roast for around 15 mins.
* Alternatively- in a non-stick pan with 1tsp of oil, lightly fry the red onion slices until cooked. Trying to keep them in their shape.
-
Lightly steam brocollini, green beans & peas for 3-5mins. If serving the salad later- rinse vegetables under cold water, this will stop the cooking process.
-
Place all vegtables onto a serving platter, mixing all vegetables together. Place the red onions around & throughout the salad.
-
Sprinkle with whole almonds & slivered almonds.
