Olive oil and basil have been staples of the Mediterranean diet for centuries. In this crunchy salad rich in antioxidants, fermented beetroot coated in oil glistens on a bed of crispy red chicory and red lettuce. Chicory contains bitters which will get digestive juices flowing and lettuce provides anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties as well as high levels of vitamin K. Chopped pistachios, pomegranate seeds and beetroot sprouts give some textural interest as well as providing attractive contrasting colours.
