Broccoli, Red Pepper and Apple Salad

Broccoli, Red Pepper and Apple Salad

I make this recipe at least twice a month because it goes with so many things. It keeps well in the fridge, especially if I use Pink Lady apples, which are very crisp and retain their colour.

Dressing:

2 Tbsps. Oil

3 Tbsps. fruit vinegar (apple is best)

1½ tsps. Dijon mustard

2 tsps. honey or maple syrup

Salt and pepper

Method

Blend together the dressing ingredients.

Finely chop 1 head of broccoli (no stalk), 1 red pepper and 1 apple (with peel).

Add to dressing and mix well.

Lightly toast 40g of pine nuts and sprinkle on top (optional).
