The Salad Project partners with Max La Manna to create a Zero Waste Salad

London-based healthy eatery The Salad Project is teaming up with low-waste chef and award winning author Max La Manna to launch a zero-waste vegan salad just in time for Veganuary. From 3rd January running for the first three months of the year, The Zero-Waste Salad will be available to order for £10.75 from their Bank and Spitalfields restaurants, as well as for delivery exclusively via UberEats.

Using repurposed waste from the Salad Project, Max relied on a combination of sustainably sourced, vibrant, fresh and flavoursome vegan ingredients to create the bespoke salad, comprising of kale, pearl barley, sweet potato, pomegranate seeds, shredded slaw, no-waste cauli leaf pesto, vegan feta and spicy popcorn cauliflower, dressed with a pomegranate vinaigrette.

Max La Manna, the low-waste chef in collaboration with Salad Project, commented:
“The Zero-Waste Salad we’ve created with The Salad Project is a great tasting vegan option, and the variety of fresh veg we’ve chosen makes it full of vitamins and minerals, perfect for that post-Christmas health kick. Creating a zero-waste dish is something the Salad Project team and I are hugely passionate about, and we hope the dish will help raise awareness around the importance of reducing food waste whilst also supporting a vital charity.”

£1 of every The Salad Project x Max La Manna salad sold over the period will be donated to Salad Project’s partner charity Bite Back 2030, founded by chef Jamie Oliver: a youth-led movement working towards a world where all young people have the opportunity to be healthy, no matter where they live. Bite Back works tirelessly to raise awareness on healthy and nutritious eating for children, as well as campaigning for extending free school meals for children in poverty across the UK.

Max La Manna will also be hosting an intimate dinner party and salad demo on 19th January at Salad Project Bank at 6:30pm. For your chance to win a space at the table visit Salad Project’s Instagram page @the.salad.projectwhere you can tag a friend to attend with.

The Salad Project is a low waste dining concept specialising in healthy nutritious salads, with sites in Bank and Spitalfields. The Salad Project was founded by Florian de Chezelles and James Dare in 2019 using their combined experience in the hospitality industry to create a sustainable, low-waste salad bar.
