Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1/2 baby romanesco
  • 1 baby cucumber
  • 1 baby gem lettuce
  • 4 (yellow) butter beans
  • 2 Paris market carrots
  • 2 courgette flowers (if available)
  • 2 purple carrots
  • 2 hakurei turnips
  • 1 baby Chioggia (candy stripe) beetroot and its leaves
  • 1 pink turnip
  • 6 amaranth leaves (if available)
  • 6 blueberries
  • 4 purple basil leaves
  • 4 shiso leaves (if available)
  • 4 Greek basil tips
  • olive oil to serve

For the cashew miso cream:

  • 250 g raw cashew nuts
  • 220 ml water
  • 50 g chickpea miso or a sweet, nutty brown rice miso
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method

  • Soak the cashews in cold water for at least two hours or overnight.
  • Drain, then combine with the water, miso and salt and blend on high speed until smooth. It may take a while.
  • Clean and slice the vegetables, keeping edible leaves on where possible. All vegetables in this particular salad are raw, sliced thinly or into florets or left whole depending on the vegetable. It’s about taking a whole bunch of beautiful, in-season vegetables and treating them like crudités, dragging them through the cashew dip.
  • Dress a plate with the cashew miso cream and arrange the vegetables on top. Dress with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
