All I do is cook these days

There's a student initiative in my uni where every two weeks we buy fresh season fruit and vegetables from an organic farmer and then everyone gets a big bag of them for about 10 euros. Last week I gave it a try, and I got all of this (plus some new potatoes):


That's apples, a bunch of kale, carrots (we're talking a lot here!), a parsnip, beetroots and a small pumpkin. 

So what did I make out of them? For starters, the apples were delicious so I've just been eating them as snacks. But they're also very good cut into little pieces in a kale salad.



I don't even like salads that much but this one is good! Here's how you make it: 

1 apple, cut into small match sticks
1 carrot, grated
1 bunch of kale, washed, dried and chopped.
a handful of any sort of nuts and/or dried raisins/cranberries etc. 
Combine all of the above in a big bowl.
Make the dressing by mixing 
1 tsp rosemary (or any other herb you like)
1/2 tsp mustard
a couple squirts of lemon 
2-3 tbsp olive oil
a bit of vinegar
salt & pepper
And pour it over the salad. Mix well. The longer you let the hard kale infuse with the dressing and the juices from the apple & carrot, the better your salad will be, so this is perfect to make in advance/save for later.

More on what I did with the vegetables coming soon! :)
