The Italian classic panzanella can be reinterpreted very well during the colder months. Oven-roasted beetroot, crispy pumpernickel and fruity pomelo come together in a surprisingly harmonious flavour composition. Sweet, tangy, fresh and roasted nuts add that indispensable extra crunch for any salad.
