Wholesome Rainbow Salad for Busy Athletes

Ok so I know this may seem like anyone could just throw this together but this salad is such a winner. Whenever I make it I always get people coming back for more and asking what’s in the dressing. I doubt I’ll ever get sick of it. Salad is a great way to ensure you’re getting enough vegetables. For more of a meal, add some grilled salmon or chicken. For lunch time a boiled egg on top is an easy way to get some protein in. Make a big batch of this salad and portion it up for lunches before the working week starts.

Rainbow Salad

Salad

• 1/4 purple cabbage (shredded)
• 2 carrots (diced)
• 1 cos lettuce (leaves roughly torn)
• 1 red capsicum (chopped)
• 1 bunch flat leaf parsley (roughly chopped)
• 250 g feta cheese

Dressing

• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 preserved lemon
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tbsp chilli flakes (more or less accordingly to your liking)
• 1/2 tbsp himalayan pink salt

In a mortar and pestle, combine olive oil, Himalayan pink salt, preserved lemon, apple cider vinegar and pinch chilli flakes.

Grind so salt dissolves and preserved lemon has mixed through. Stir through.
