Lentil Salad with Apples & Celery
Oct 31, 2022
Toss this crunchy salad together to take along a ready-made dish. For a heartier salad, add 2 cans (each 6-1/2 oz/184 g) drained chunk tuna.
This dish is low-fuss because you can bread and refrigerate the chicken up to 8 hours ahead—meaning you can avoid greeting guests with eggy, floury, crumby fingers. If you can't find watercress, arugula makes an equally appealing salad topper for the meal.
A platter of veggies offers kids an array to taste. As well as carrot and celery sticks, try cauliflower florets, cherry tomatoes, sweet pepper slices and celery hearts.
For this stunning salad, use the thinnest setting on your mandoline to shave crisp root vegetables into delicate medallions. Miso paste is generally used to flavour soups, but here it acts as a savoury base for the simple Japanese-inspired dressing.
If you like, you can rim the glasses with a slice of lime and dip them into celery salt for a classic Caesar look and taste. Garnish with your choice of lime slice, celery stick, dill pickle slice or spicy pickled green bean. Because the amount of sodium in this drink is quite high, the servings are relatively small, poured over oodles of ice.
This quick-to-make meal will really satisfy. Serve with crisp celery sticks and radishes.
