Garden Day Homegrown Seasonal Lunch Recipes
What a lovely Garden Day we had. Here are the recipes for the lunch I made for the Virtual Garden Party today. Everything is plant based and seasonal, most things picked from my garden this morning.
plant based food
Roast squash salad with paprika tahini dressing
A nourishing, flavourful salad, autumn on a plate! I used Uchiki Kuri squash for this – easy to grow, sweet, nutty and you can eat the skin – but any firm fleshed squash or pumpkin is fine.
Summer Raspberry and Apple Salad
Sweet, crisp and so fruity, this delicious salad makes use of summery gluts. The raspberry balsamic dressing is delicious poured over mixed leaves and roasted chicories, and is a great way to use less than perfect raspberries.
Vegan “Bubble and Squeak” salad recipe
This gorgeous, vegetable-filled salad is ideal for winter meals, a great way of using leftover vegetables from a roast dinner – just like “bubble and squeak”. A tasty way to make the most of a Thanksgiving, Christmas or other roast dinner leftovers! This recipe includes an oil free version, too.
Roasted beetroot, carrot and onion hummus recipe
Beetroot grows in my garden from April right through to the end of autumn, some in the polytunnel over winter too. This tasty root vegetable stores so well that I can make this hummus at any time of year, but there’s something especially autumnal and satisfying about the combination of roasted beetroot, carrot and onion.
