A fresh side salad perfect for your next BBQ
This vegan side salad will be your next go to recipe for a BBQ or picnic. It’s fresh, vibrant and full of flavour, we think you’ll love it!
BBQ season is just around the corner, so we’re already thinking of all the delicious things we’re going to cook up next time we have a lovely sunny day. A lot of the focus when it comes to barbequing is usually on what goes on the BBQ itself, and rightly so, it is the main event after all! However, people often tend to forget all about the dishes that go on the side. We absolutely love letting veggies shine, and we think a deliciously fresh, vibrant side salad is the best way to do this. This side salad is bursting with colour and flavour. It’s so vibrant and fresh, meaning it’s great to balance out those smokey more ‘meaty’ flavours from your barbequed food. It’s got juicy orange, sweet beets, crunchy carrots, kale, chicory and some little chickpeas for added protein. We’ve also added a delicious orange vinaigrette dressing and some chopped pistachios to finish off the dish.
An easy no-cook side salad ready in 20 minutes
What’s great about this salad is that it doesn’t require any cooking time. It’s all in the preparation and the final stage of bringing all the ingredients together. We’ve suggested that you use pre-cooked beetroot for ultimate ease, however, if you want to buy raw beetroot, you will need to cook it for this recipe. The whole recipe should only take about 15-20 minutes from start to finish, making it a super easy and simple vegan recipe.
