Spring Greens with Quick-Pickled Vegetables

This vibrant spring greens salad with quick-pickled vegetables is a celebration of seasonal textures and bright, zesty flavours. By lightly pickling shaved root vegetables like carrots and Chioggia beets, you add a sharp, sweet crunch that beautifully offsets the peppery notes of rocket and tatsoi. It is an elegant vegan starter or a refreshing side dish that brings a touch of sophisticated colour to any lunch table.

Designed for ease, this plant-based dish uses a simple vinaigrette to tie the tender greens and fragrant herbs together. You can vary the herbs based on what is available; mint and tarragon offer a lovely sweetness that complements the pickled elements perfectly. Serve it as a stand-alone healthy light meal or as a crisp accompaniment to a weekend lunch.
