SALAD RECIPE: Roasted leek, miso harissa, comice pear, turnip and squash salad

This salad recipe is a simple vegetable dish full of fresh flavour and a lovely little kick - the perfect light autumnal dish that reminds you of summer.


My wife and I shared this for our dinner and matched it with steamed rice and baked wild sea bass. It was absolutely delicious and an excellent reminder that autumnal seasonal dishes don’t always need to be heavy.



Ingredients

  • Miso harissa

  • 1 turnip

  • 1 comice pear

Method


Set the oven to 180 degrees.


In a frying pan put the leeks in cut side down with olive oil (1 tbsp) to cook on medium/high heat to achieve a good dark colour.
