1. To make your homemade, raw wholegrain mustard, soak mustard seeds in apple cider vinegar and leave overnight. Mix with 1tsp of raw honey.

2. Prepare your salad ingredients – Roughly chop your kale, cabbage and coriander, finely slice red onion, cut your avocado and pears in to cubes (saving a few slices of pear for garnish) and de-seed your pomegranate. 

3. Using a large salad bowl, throw together all your salad ingredients.

4. Whisk together your dressing and pour over your bowl of salad. Carefully toss your salad until nicely mixed.

5. When serving, garnish with a few slices of pear and crushed pistachio nuts – And pretty flowers if you like!

Note: If you are not in the mood for vegan, feta cheese is a great addition to this salad!
