Walnut and spinach brain boosting salad

If you are what you eat, then you’re going to be amazing after tasting these delicious plant-based recipes inspired from Jeremy Dixon’s popular Auckland vegan café.

My wife was attending a dinner for a course she was facilitating on improving the brain. She needed to bring a salad that contained some of the foods they had been learning about that have a massive impact on brain function. Walnuts and spinach were two of the beneficial foods so I whipped up this salad. It is delicious!

Makes 6 x 1 Cup serves

Ingredients

  • 2 cups spinach finely sliced (around 180g (6oz)
  • 1 cup purple cabbage finely sliced
  • ¼ cup walnuts
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (mixed colours) halved

Walnut and spinach dressing


  • ½ cup water
  • ¾ cup walnut pieces
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup spinach (around 60g)
  • 4 tablespoons lime juice (around 2 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Method

Put dressing ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth. You may have to add a little more water to achieve a pourable consistency. Place the spinach and cabbage in your serving bowl and toss. Drizzle over the dressing and sprinkle the walnuts and tomatoes on top.
