This delicious salad is beautifully easy and delivers a huge amount of bang for its buck. It’s lightly dressed with a slightly sweetened lemon and olive oil dressing. Serves 4-6

Crunchy red cabbage and red grape salad

INGREDIENTS: ​
For the salad -

• ½ a medium-sized red cabbage (approx. 300g/11oz), very finely sliced
• ½ small red onion (approx. 50g/2oz), very finely sliced
• 20 red grapes (add more if small), cut in half
• a small handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped

​
For the dressing -

• juice of ½ lemon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ to 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• salt and pepper

METHOD:

1. Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Combine the dressing ingredients in a jar with a lid, or in a small bowl. Shake or mix to combine.
3. Toss the salad with dressing just before serving,

Notes:  You probably won’t need all the dressing. It will keep well in the fridge in a jar and can be used on any other kind of salad you might make.
You don’t need to be too fussy about exact quantities for the salad; adjust proportions to suit what you have in the fridge and what you like.
