Kale and Parsnip Salad

An autumnal salad fit for Kings (and Queens!)

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200C/180C Fan.

Step 2

Whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp maple syrup in a large bowl, add parsnip and toss to combine. Season generously. Transfer to a large baking tray and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and starting to crisp at the edges.

Step 3

Meanwhile, remove kale leaves from stem and shred. Add to your now-empty large bowl and add 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil and 3/4 tsp salt. Massage the kale for several minutes until they start to break down a little and tenderise.

Step 4

Prepare the tahini-maple dressing by whisking together tahini, 6 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp water and remaining maple syrup. Season to taste.

Step 5

Toss kale in half the dressing and transfer to a large salad platter. Top with parsnip, pear, pecan nuts and red onion. Drizzle over remaining dressing and enjoy!
