This is a really tasty, fresh and healthy salad. There are many ingredients but they are all important and add to the overall flavour.
For the salad:
- 1 head of broccoli cut into small pieces and blanched in boiling water
- 70g smoked bacon bits or pancetta, fried until most of the fat has rendered down and it is crispy
- 1/2 a finely sliced red onion or a bunch of spring onion
- Carrots cut into matchsticks or finely sliced in rounds
- 70g sliced radish
- A handful of crushed walnuts, cashews or pistachios – or you could substitute these with sunflower or pumpkin seeds – this is for
- 1 apple, grated or cut into small pieces (prepare this last and add immediately to the dressing so that it doesn’t discolour)
- 100g finely chopped mature cheddar or Parmesan cheese
- Chopped coriander (optional)
For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup of good quality mayo
- 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
- A generous pinch of salt
Method:
- Blanch the broccoli and leave to cool in ice cold water
- Prepare the rest of the ingredients, leaving the apple until after you have made the dressing
- Mix all of the ingredients for the dressing together
- Add the apple to the dressing to avoid it becoming discoloured
- Then mix everything together and serve.
