Waldorf Salad

Whoever says you can't fit some apple into a low carb even keto way of eating, they're wrong.

The green apple in this salad is such a burst of sweet and a total treat when you are not used to it - it sure is natures candy. This salad is 8.9g net carbs of which 4.3g are from the 40g of apple.

INGREDIENTS

A big handful of mixed salad leaves

A handful of pecans or walnuts (50g)

1/4 granny smith apple (40g), grated

1 medium stick of celery, chopped

1 tablespoon of mayonnaise

Big pinch of micro cress

Drizzle of avocado oil or olive oil

Sprinkled with salt & pepper.

METHOD

Place the leaves and celery in a large bowl, drizzle over the oil, sprinkle with salt & pepper and toss till coated.

Put the salad in serving bowl and top with grated apple, nuts and micro-cress.

Dollop with mayonnaise.

Eat immediately.

If you are not eating straight away, to avoid leaves wilting, just combine the salad ingredients (leaves, nuts, celery) in the serving bowl and make the dressing (olive oil, salt & pepper) in a small bowl on the side, only put the dressing and grated apple on before you are going to eat.

Note: what to do with the rest of the apple if making for one person. Just enjoy 1/4 at a time, over the next few days, grate onto your nut granola for breakfast one day, eat some as pudding another day.
