Red cabbage and apple salad

A lovely salad for the autumn, sweet apples and sultanas with crisp red cabbage and walnuts, and a honey dressing.

SERVES 4

450g (1lb) red cabbage

2 sweet eating apples

1 celery heart

50g (2oz) sultanas or raisins (optional)

small handful of chopped walnuts

honey and cider dressing

Wash and finely shred the cabbage. Wash the apples and chop, without peeling if the skins look good, and slice the celery. Place all these in a salad bowl.

If you’re using the sultanas or raisins, cover them with boiling water and leave for 10 minutes, to plump them; drain, and mix with salad, along with the walnuts and enough honey dressing to make the mixture moist and shiny.
