We love salads so much at Ptitchef that there’s no way we’re giving them up in fall and winter. So we swap raw vegetables for seasonal vegetables, combining red cabbage, beet and butternut squash with lentils and parsley. An easy, quick and vegetarian recipe. A healthy way to get plenty of plant-based protein and fiber ;-)

FAQ ❓

Can I add nuts to my salad?

No problem! Crushed nuts will be perfect in this fall/winter salad. You could also try hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, etc. There are plenty of alternatives to make your salad even crunchier. Don’t hesitate to toast them for a few minutes in a hot pan to give them a smoky flavor.

What can I substitute for honey?

You can replace the honey with agave syrup.

How long will this salad keep?

In an airtight container, you can keep this salad refrigerated for 3–4 days. To prevent the vinaigrette from “cooking” the salad, add it just before serving. Without vinaigrette, the salad will keep longer.
