Warm salads are one of my favourite things to be enjoyed all year round. Jerusalem Artichokes are now in season and I love their texture when roasted, almost chewy but crispy on the outside. The freshness of the peas and asparagus interacts wonderfully with the rich roast veg and crispy kale.
Served with a dollop of humous and some Spanish peppers or a portion of quinoa for a more substantial evening meal.
