Of everything he cooks with it, this Christmas salad is his favourite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreen lentils and chickpeas are what turn a side salad into something substantial rather than decorative. The sweet potato, capsicum and eggplant are roasted first so they come out sweet and soft, there are sultanas for sweetness against the savoury and almonds for crunch, and parsley, mint and coriander go through it in real quantity, which is what stops a grain salad tasting heavy. Extra virgin olive oil and lemon over the top, and nothing else, because with this much going on the dressing is there to bring it together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGood cold from the fridge and good warmed through. Alongside fish or lamb it behaves like a side, and on its own it is a proper meatless lunch, which is how Davide eats it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade with ❤️ by Davide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Davide","offers":[{"title":"Serves 4-6 (750g)","offer_id":41634263597114,"sku":"DBAR051-F800","price":54.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1628\/0025\/files\/PearlCouscousSalad_SQ-2.png?v=1791364408","url":"https:\/\/foodst.com.au\/products\/davides-pearl-couscous-salad","provider":"FoodSt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
