Harissa and honey roasted carrot + broccoli salad

This warm roasted carrot and tenderstem broccoli salad is a simple way to upgrade everyday vegetables while supporting gut health and stable energy.

Slow roasted carrots become naturally sweet, while harissa adds gentle heat to simulate digestion and circulation. A touch of honey balances the spice without spiking blood sugar, and olive oil provides anti-inflammatory fats to support hormone and nervous system health.

Served over a layer of gut friendly yoghurt and finished with fresh herbs, pistachios and lemon zest, this dish works beautifully as a side salad along with lamb, chicken or fish.

Why this meal works

• Carrots support liver detox pathways and oestrogen clearance

• Broccoli provides sulforaphane for inflammation and hormone balance

• Dairy free yoghurt with probiotics supports gut health

• Fresh herbs and lemon zest stimulate digestion and adds flavour.
