Yang winter salad


It's snowing in Somerset; continuous, fine and delicate. So it's pretty cold. The snow drops on the verges are the physial manifestation of Imbolc which was celebrated yesterday. So spring is coming, yet it is decidedly winter, still.
For the first time I find myself craving cooked foods, the warmth of it. I choose not to surrender, instead I have devised a Yang winter salad, by which I mean that I have included red, heating foods as follows:
Raddichio & frisee leaves
Radish & courgette slices
Walnut pieces, pumpkin seeds
Goji berries
Dressing: apple cider vinegar, ginger juice, pumpkin seed oil, lemon juice, back pepper

It looks good, is fiery and crunchy and completely satisfying.
