Ingredients

For the salad

  • 4 stalks celery with leaves (small stalks approximately 300 grams, 10.6 ounces or 2½ cups diced)
  • 1 medium red apple (approximately 160 grams or 6.42 ounces)
  • 1 medium green apple (approximately 160 grams or 6.42 ounces)
  • 1 cup black grapes, sliced (approximately 160 grams or 6.42 ounces)
  • ¾ cup walnut halves, roasted

  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper

For the dressing

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Metric - Imperial

Instructions

1- PREPARE APPLES

  • Wash, trim and remove the cores from your apples then slice thinly into half-moons using a v-slicer or sharp knife.
  • To prevent your apples from browning place them in salted water using one teaspoon of salt for every two cups of water.
  • Wash your celery stalks, trim the white ends and the top of leaves. Use a vegetable peeler, to de-thread if you have time.
  • Then finely chop the celery into small dice or thinly slice it in a food processor.
  • Wash your grapes then cut in half.

2-BLITZ DRESSING

  • Chop your toasted walnuts (it is important to chop them so your dressing is smooth and not lumpy). Place the walnuts in a blender with the oil and blitz until it comes together.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and season. Blitz until creamy, taste and adjust seasoning. Add some water to loosen it if it is still a bit thick.

3-ASSEMBLE SALAD

  • Strain your apples well and pat dry,
  • Add everything to a large mixing bowl, pour over the dressing and season.
  • Mix well until everything is well coated with the dressing. Arrange in a salad bowl and keep chilled until ready to serve.
