A Complete Shopping and Cooking Guide for a Perfect Salad Night

Date:

Planning to make this incredible salad? Here’s a complete guide to shopping for the ingredients and executing the recipe flawlessly for a perfect, stress-free dinner.

Your Shopping List: For the produce section, you’ll need 150g Tenderstem broccoli, 50g fresh coriander, a lemon, and two Little Gem lettuces. From the dairy and deli aisle, grab some chorizo, parmesan cheese (or a vegetarian alternative), and one egg. Finally, from the pantry shelves, you’ll need a 400g tin of butter beans, olive oil, and a small packet of pumpkin seeds.

Your Game Plan: Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Your first action is to get the chorizo and drained butter beans onto a tray with olive oil and into the oven. This 25-minute roasting time is your window for all other prep.

While it Roasts: Immediately blanch your chopped broccoli in boiled water for two minutes, then drain. Next, put all the dressing ingredients into your blender and blitz until smooth. Shred your lettuce. By the time the oven timer goes off, everything will be ready for assembly. Simply toss, plate, top, and serve immediately.
