  • ½ small red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 1 apple, cut into matchsticks
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • Salt and black pepper
  1. Stop the apple browning. Toss the apple in a little of the lemon juice.
  2. Shred. Put the cabbage, carrot, apple and spring onions in a large bowl.
  3. Dress. Whisk the oil, the rest of the lemon juice, the mustard and maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper, pour over and toss well.
  4. Rest. Leave for 10 minutes so the cabbage softens slightly. (10:00)

Chef’s tip

Slice the cabbage as thinly as you can; a sharp knife or the slicing side of a grater both work.

Storage

Keeps 1 day in the fridge.

Swap it

Add toasted seeds for extra crunch.
