  4. To the same dish, add the cauliflower florets, brussel sprouts, celery stick, garlic clove, ground cumin, coriander, paprika, white pepper, parsley and olive oil and mix well. Roast in the oven for 30 mins until the veggies start to brown, then remove.
  5. Stir in the cooked black quinoa, black lentil, pomegranate and mint leaves.
  6. For the dressing, mix together olive oil, parsley, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper and mint leaves in a jar and shake until well mixed.
  7. Pour dressing over salad and mix well. Serve warm or cold.

Tip

For added spice, you can always add a sliced chilli into the salad dressing.
