This salad was inspired by a local M&S with a wonderful deli bar. The original was too sweet and too loaded with cholesterol for 67goingon50 and was adapted to meet 67's criteria.
Cabbage and apples are a terrific combination and this is a perfect way of getting raw veg and fruit into kid/ults. The slight sweetness, the juicy crisp fruit and the crunchiness of nuts should please everyone.
The salad is perfect for a portable lunch; pack the dressing separately, slice the apples on site and mix. It goes exceptionally well with cold roast or un-dressed poached chicken.
To make it even easier on the pocket, replace cashew nuts with salted peanuts and maple syrup with honey. Whatever salted nuts you use -- and a small amount of salt balances the sweetness -- remove excess oil and some of the salt by rubbing the nuts with a paper serviette.
Cost: min: £1.50 (6/23)
Feeds: 2, multilies easily
Ingred:
1 large sweet juicy apple (67 likes Braeburn or Granny Smith), unpeeled, cored, quartered and sliced as thinly as you can (if apples are waxed, peel before eating)
2 tbsp mayonnaise, with or without egg
6 tbsp yoghurt, plant or dairy
1-1 1/2 tsp maple syrup
1 generous handful salted roasted cashews, with excess oil and salt rubbed off with a paper serviette
pepper & salt
Method:
- Mix mayo, yoghurt & maple syrup
- Add enough to the grated cabbage to moisten. Mix well. Add pepper and a bit of salt. Mound the cabbage in a ring on a plate; leave centre free.
- Coat the apple slices with the mayo-yoghurt mix
- Arrange the slices of apple on the cabbage with the pointed ends facing outward
- Toss the nuts around the outer core.
- OR if you can't be bothered to arrange the apple slices, mix cabbage, apple and nuts together with the dressing and serve
Tips:
- Make this a vegetarian meal by adding low-fat mild cheese: goats or 30% fat-reduced cheddar
