This refreshing and colorful salad bursts with a delightful interplay of textures and tastes. Crisp red cabbage and tender asparagus spears dance together on a bed of zesty arugula. Crunchy almonds add a satisfying bite, while crumbled feta cheese lends a salty tang. The crowning glory is the velvety tahini dressing, a luscious blend of tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and fresh herbs, drizzled over the salad like liquid gold. This exquisite dish is a feast for both the eyes and the palate, perfect for a light lunch, a vibrant side dish, or a healthy and satisfying meal.
Alongside the main recipe, discover variations to suit your preferences:
- For a vegan version, simply omit the feta cheese and use a plant-based yogurt in the dressing.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of lemon juice in the dressing to taste.
- Add a touch of sweetness by incorporating dried cranberries or raisins into the salad.
- For a spicier kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or chili powder into the dressing.
- Experiment with different nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or pistachios, to add a unique twist to the texture.
- Explore various leafy greens, like spinach, kale, or baby bok choy, to create a diverse salad base.
- Elevate the salad with grilled or roasted vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or eggplant, for a heartier and more substantial meal.

GRILLED CABBAGE WITH TAHINI CAESAR DRESSING
These cabbage slices are charred and softened on the grill, then slathered in a vegan Caesar-style dressing. With a hint of nuttiness from tahini and lots of crunch from rustic croutons, the delicious result is a hearty dish somewhere between a wedge and Caesar salad.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill or grill pan for high heat.
- Brush the flat sides of the cabbage wedges with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Grill on one flat side, flipping halfway through to the other flat side, until dark grill marks have formed and the outer layers are softened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
- Brush the bread with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Grill the bread sliced-side down until grill marks form and the bread is toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool slightly, then tear into roughly 1/2-inch pieces.
- Meanwhile, add the tahini, capers, tamari, agave, 2 tablespoons olive oil, half of the lemon zest and juice, 3 tablespoons water and a generous amount of black pepper to a medium bowl. Grate in 3 cloves of the garlic and whisk until well combined.
- Grate the remaining clove of garlic into a medium bowl. Stir in the parsley, red pepper flakes, remaining lemon zest and juice and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil.
- Drizzle the cabbage with the dressing, top with the croutons and parsley mixture and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cook the rice following pack instructions. Meanwhile, put the cabbage and spring onions in a large bowl with the lemon zest, half the lemon juice, 1 tbsp oil and a good pinch of seasoning. Massage it all into the cabbage and set aside.
- Whisk together the rest of the lemon juice and oil plus the honey, tahini, yogurt and garlic, then loosen with 2 tbsp water. Season to taste.
- When the rice is tender, drain in a sieve, rinse briefly under the cold tap, then let it drain well. Tip the just-warm rice into the cabbage, adding most of the cranberries, nuts and herbs too. Now pour in most of the tahini dressing and mix. Pile onto a serving plate, then sprinkle with the remaining ingredients and drizzle with the final few spoonfuls of dressing and a slug more oil, if you like.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Toss the onions in 1 tsp rapeseed oil and roast on a baking sheet for 10 mins. Coat the asparagus with the remaining oil and spread over another sheet. After 10 mins, add the asparagus to roast with the onions for 5 mins. Add the tomatoes and sunflower seeds and roast for 5 mins. The onions should be charred, the asparagus tender, the seeds toasted and the whole tomatoes near bursting.
- Meanwhile, tip the bouillon and quinoa into a pan. Add 360ml water, cover and simmer for 20 mins until tender and the water has been absorbed. Whisk the tahini and lemon juice with 3 tbsp warm water, the garlic and tamari to make a dressing.
- Pile the quinoa into bowls, top with rocket, spoon over half the dressing, add a pile of beans with the tomatoes, then a separate pile of the asparagus and onions. Spoon over the remaining dressing and scatter over the sunflower seeds. Will keep in the fridge for two days.

- Toss the salad just before serving: This will help to prevent the vegetables from getting soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh.
