Eating salad in Winter is definitely worth it with Taste of Home’s Perfect Winter Salad. The raw veg gives us a nutrient hit right when we need it most during the cold weather.

For something different to do with kale, try Blissful Basil’s Warm Kale and Artichoke Dip. Delicious with your favourite cracker or smeared onto a hearty slice of bread.

For our next recipeI couldn’t go past good old-fashioned Pickled Beetroot from BBC Good Food. I love it on a cheese sandwich or a burger, but it’s even delicious by itself right out of the jar.

For something sweet this week, you have the choice from 3 of Australia’s Best Carrot Cake recipes from Good Food. The carrots are so sweet at the moment you can probably halve the sugar in the recipe though and still enjoy it (more often in fact).

Happy cooking,

Alice
