    First up is a vegetarian, gluten-free salad that’s just perfect for summer. Enjoy!

    Serves: 8
    Time: 40 minutes
    Good for: Calcium, Fibre, Folate, Magnesium, Protein, Riboflavin

    Ingredients

    100g blanched almonds
    200g radishes
    220g baby leaf watercress
    1 green eating apple
    Juice of ½ large lemon, plus the zest of the lemon to serve
    4 x 125g packs buffalo mozzarella
    2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
    Sea salt
    2 tbsp shredded mint 

    Method

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4.
    • Scatter the almonds on a small baking tray and toast them in the oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden; cool, then roughly chop.
    • Trim and slice the radishes and pick over the watercress, discarding any tougher stalks; put them into a large bowl.
    • Shortly before serving, peel and core the apple and slice it into matchsticks, toss with a little of the lemon juice to prevent it from turning brown. Drain the mozzarella and tear it into bite-sized pieces.
    • Put the 2 tablespoons of oil, the remaining lemon juice and the apple into the bowl with the watercress and radishes; season. Toss together and divide between 8 plates. Add the mozzarella and almonds and scatter with a little crushed sea salt, freshly ground pepper, the mint and lemon zest. Finally, drizzle with a little extra oil.

    And that’s that! Bon apetite!
