INGREDIENTS

  • 300g cooked wheat (with orange peel, star anise, cinnamon stick, clove)
  • 2 cooked beetroots
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Avocado
  • Yellow bell pepper
  • Green bell pepper
  • Fresh spring onion
  • Dill (optional)
  • Parsley (optional)
  • Nigella seeds (black sesame)
  • Sesame seeds
  • Dried cranberries
  • Toasted flaked almonds

For the Dressing

  • Juice from 2 Limes
  • Lime zest
  • Rosemary leaves
  • Thyme leaves
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • A little honey (optional)
  • Salt
  • Pepper

METHOD

  1. In a blender, place the beetroots, mustard, lime juice, dill, a few mint leaves, rosemary, and thyme until they blend into a paste (not too thick; if necessary, thin it out with more lime juice or beetroot cooking liquid).
  2. Set aside a little dill and mint leaves. Finely chop all the other ingredients and divide the cherry tomatoes in half.
  3. Put all the ingredients into a bowl, add the cranberries, sesame seeds, nigella seeds, and mix with our sauce. Add the zest and serve.
