Sprout salad with chorizo, raisins and crispy ciabatta
Boasting bold flavours and satisfying textures, this delightful sprout salad by Sorrels Kitchen makes a wonderful side dish for entertaining over the festive period. Sweet raisins and crispy chorizo clash perfectly with the shaved sprouts and ciabatta croutons, whilst our Mellow Yellow Balsamic Vinegar Dressing brings it all together with an extra layer of flavour.
Perfectly at home as a side, it’s also makes a delicious lunch, main or breakfast – paired with your choice of protein or topped with a crispy fried egg. We recommend enjoying this right up until the end of March when sprouts season comes to an end. It’s simply too good to be confined to the Christmas menu!
