Ingredients
Salad
- 300 g red cabbage
2 medium-sized beetroots (approximately 250 g)
2 apples
100 g kale
1 pomegranate
75 g walnuts or pecans, preferably toasted
Spiced Orange Dressing
- 4 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tsp finely grated orange zest
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1½ tbsp honey
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
1 small pinch of ground cloves

Follow these steps
- Wash the red cabbage, beetroots, apples and kale. Peel the beetroots and remove the tough stems from the kale.
- Fit the Ankarsrum Assistent with the Vegetable Cutter and slicing drum. Thinly slice the red cabbage and transfer it to a large salad bowl.
- Switch to the coarse grating drum and grate the beetroots. Then switch back to the slicing drum and slice the apples. Add everything to the salad bowl.
- Tear the kale into smaller pieces by hand or chop with a knife, then add to the salad.
- Cut the pomegranate in half and remove the seeds. Roughly chop the walnuts or pecans. If desired, toast them in a dry frying pan over a medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant.
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, orange juice, finely grated orange zest, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Whisk until well combined, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
- Top with the pomegranate seeds and toasted nuts. Serve immediately!
Tips
- Prepare the dressing in advance and store it in the fridge. Add it to the salad just before serving to keep the vegetables fresh and crunchy.
