Method
step 1
Put the beetroots, oranges and grapefruit segments into a large bowl, add the cider vinegar, sugar and some seasoning, and mix well.
step 2
Break up the quinoa in another bowl, drizzle with a little oil and season. Add the Little Gems and brussels sprouts. Mix together all of the dressing ingredients and some seasoning in a small jug.
step 3
Heat a small, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and toast the nuts and seeds for 1 minute, then add the soy sauce, honey and a dash of oil, and bubble for a few more minutes until sticky. Put aside.
step 4
To assemble, mix the pickled beets and fruits into the greens. Toss through the dressing and most of the dill. Tip onto a platter and top with the sticky nuts, goat’s cheese and remaining dill.
