- Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the nuts and seeds, stirring them to toast for 3-4 minutes to bring out their flavour. Cool, then add them to the salad bowl and toss them through.
- For the dressing, mix together the yogurt and turmeric with a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve with the salad and garnish with coriander or flat leaf parsley.
