Good to know

A salad like this often saves my day when I need something quick but still want something fresh on the plate. Crunchy, creamy and pleasantly light. It works just as well at lunchtime as in the evening.

Swaps

Greek yoghurt → skyr (more protein, similar tang). Apple → pear (similar fibre, a little milder). Mustard → horseradish stirred into the yoghurt (spicy and punchy).
