Do you love a 10 minute meal prep as much as I do? You’ll love this Peach & Hazelnut Dukkah salad.
Simon Bryant inspired this deliciousness with his gorgeous new book Vegies but his version has a hot, buttery dressing and I wanted to keep it raw and fast with some organic, cold-pressed oil for neurological health.
Another lesson from my Institute for Integrative Nutrition studies is that people will often crave mood ‘uppers’ like sugar, caffeine and alcohol when they are feeling emotionally down and that this can sometimes be cured by increasing the intake of soft, natural mood ‘uppers’ like raw food and water.
Hurray for fast, simple and oh-so satisfying salads!
The peppery rocket leaves, sweet peaches and tangy dressing combine to make a fun little party in your mouth! Like champagne, without the crazy dance moves and hangover.
Use any nuts, seeds and dried herbs you like in the dukkah and store the leftovers in the cupboard for months to use on veggies, in salads or even for crusted tofu.
Enjoy this Peach & Hazelnut Dukkah Salad! xx

Lately, I made a super fantastic vegan salad with a toasted walnut crumble that I know you will love too.
