Food and drink: Clementine, smoked almond and pickled red onion salad
Denise Phillips brings you a crisp, crunchy, sour and smoky vegan salad!
This is a crisp, crunchy, sour and smoky vegan salad. I love the colourful combination and enjoy serving it as a side dish or light lunch. Pickled foods are a growing trend because they are a great source of healthy probiotic bacteria, which may improve digestive health. Clementines are at their best now – do buy the seedless variety to speed up making this recipe.
