Ingredients
For the pesto dressing:
Handful
of basil
1
clove
of garlic
2
tablespoons
lemon juice
3
tablespoons
pine nuts
2
tablespoons
olive oil
1
tablespoon
nutritional yeast
Salt + pepper, to taste
For the salad:
2
red apples, cored and diced
I like a crisp, tart-sweet variety such as Braeburn
4
dried figs, roughly chopped
Handful
of walnuts, roughly chopped
Few handfuls
of rocket (arugula)
Squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions
For the pesto dressing:
Add all the ingredients for the pesto dressing to a blender or food processor (or hand-held blender) and whizz until smooth
If it’s looking a little too thick to be a dressing, add a little water to thin it out
For the salad:
Place all the ingredients for the salad in a bowl and immediately squeeze over a generous amount of lemon juice to prevent the apples from oxidising
Just before serving, pour the pesto dressing over the salad and mix well
Best enjoyed immediately
