Crunch leaf salad is a great way to get loads of winter veg in your diet - it's a quick and simple salad that's good for you too. The added pear slices bring a nice refreshing crunch and a bit of sweetness too which is counter-balanced by the peppery radish. Toasted hazelnuts add a bit of texture too and you can easily make this recipe with your Christmas veg leftovers as there are always plenty of Brussels sprouts from the previous day.
