Raw Sprout Clementine Cranberry Stilton & Walnut Winter Salad

November 17, 2015 by Laura Scott 28 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

At this time of year there are always certain ingredients that appear and there are certain recipes they will be used for. Think sprouts, walnuts, clementines, cranberries, Stilton cheese. I have been making a real effort to use these ingredients in a modern, less predictable way.

walnut winter salad

I enjoy creating winter salads in particular. Something fresh and light to enjoy alongside a plate of baked ham, leftover turkey or some cold stuffing – my favourite.

Having made my kale, roasted cranberry, pomegranate and smoked almond salad last winter I decided I wanted to make use of the beautiful bittersweet pop of roasted cranberries again. If you haven’t ever tried roasted cranberries I urge you to try them out. They will also be appearing in a featured post in early December too, they are that good.

walnut winter salad

This is a salad that is economical and thrifty for the festive season. You will be likely to have these ingredients lying around but you may not have used them in this refreshing raw sprout, clementine, cranberry, Stilton and walnut winter salad.

Before I tell you the recipe, you might like to read my Christmas vegetable strudel recipe which includes some of the ingredients used in this recipe and is another example of how to use festive ingredients in a new fashion.

I am linking my salad to:

This salad is a great partner to cold meats and also to savoury tarts.

    Your salad looks delicious. I love the addiction of Stilton. I am kind of addicted to walnuts and I eat them every day whenever I feel hungry. I find that they fill you up so easily. Lovely recipe.

    This looks lovely, a great lighter dish in a season of decadence. I put sprouts in salads quite a fair bit last year – must be time to start buying them again. I love roasting them.

      Me too Ceri, sprouts are lovely in so many ore ways than plain boiled. We have moved on from post war sprouts by now haven’t we?!
