Cindy in addition to I were both feeling similar making fairly uncomplicated potluck contributions this twelvemonth and, amongst a carmine cabbage languishing inwards our fridge, this Ottolenghi salad (skip yesteryear the lamb shanks if you're next that link!) seemed similar a pretty prophylactic option. It's vegan, gluten-free, has the typical Ottolenghi array of flavours in addition to textures in addition to meant we'd at to the lowest degree stimulate got something vaguely salubrious to swallow earlier all the desserts. 

There's a picayune combat of operate involved - lots of chopping in addition to grating in addition to some careful dry-roasting of nuts in addition to seeds - but it's actually solely almost forty-five minutes of faffing about. The results were pretty proficient - the nuts in addition to seeds adding some compaction to all the veggies, in addition to the herbs in addition to dressing keeping things tasty. It wasn't the standout of the picnic (Hello vegan cheesecake! Hi delicious soy bombs!), but it was fresh in addition to pretty proficient - definitely i to brand again. In typing upwards the recipe, I realised that I completely forgot to add together inwards the dried apricots - they'd stimulate got added some prissy sweetness to the salad, in addition to then don't brand my mistake!
