Method
step 1
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the parsnips with the oil in a roasting tin, then roast for 20-25 mins until golden and tender. Add the nuts and roast for 15 mins more until the nuts are coloured. Take from the oven and cool. Can be cooked up to 2 days ahead.
step 2
Put all the leaves, parsnips and nuts into a large serving bowl.
step 3
Make the vinaigrette according to the recipe below and serve on the side – this way your guests can add their own dressing, and your salad won’t go soggy if it’s not eaten straight away.
