Anne from “Anne’s Food” posted the following recipe for a Crunchy Salad a while back. It is really simple to make, and has become a weekly favourite in our home. Not only is it versatile in that you can pretty much add whatever you like, but it is really healthy (hopefully making up for my previous Macaroni and Cheese escapades). We often have it on its own or with some chicken on the side. My version is slightly different to Anne’s as we aren’t that keen on fennel, enjoy the sweetness of red apples (as opposed to the green cooking variety) and I prefer cashew nuts to peanuts. So behold the recipe that may change your life!

Crunchy Salad

  • 2 large carrots, coarsely grated
  • 1/3 of an English cucumber, diced
  • 2 small red apples, diced
  • 1 shallot, finely diced
  • 1 red bellpepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup salted, roasted cashew nuts


    • For the dressing:

  • 100-200 ml thick yogurt (Greek works really well)
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp whole grain mustard
  • 1 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • black pepper


    • Mix all the ingredients for the salad. In a separate jug, mix all dressing ingredients. Pour dressing over salad (obviously!). Serve with chicken or crispy bread. Enjoy, and do let me know what you think!
