Le Artisan Boulangerie X Kitchen Therapy X The Kitchen Trail X Spotted Cow Fromagerie
This is a healthy, satisfying salad that has the power to stand on its own as a meal – and I say this with full confidence. Organic black rice which is in itself a nutritious powerhouse, tossed with roasted pumpkin cubes is a lethal combination for energy levels and nutritious goodness. Adding chopped dates, almonds and pomegranate arils level up the quotient. Chevre cheese by Spotted Cow Fromagerie – rounds it all up together for the taste buds.
The dressing is the thing of beauty here – orange juice + pomegranate juice and marinated onions along with the regulars – a simple concoction, but does full justice to the good soulful medley.
