Ingredients

  • 300g broccoli florets, broken into small pieces
  • 2 carrots, peeled lengthways into large ribbons
  • 50g dried cranberries
  • 50g cashews, toasted, roughly chopped
  • 80ml cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • ¼ tsp sea salt flakes
  • 1 red onion, finely sliced
  • 50ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced

Method

  1. To make the pickle, heat the vinegar, sugar and salt in a small pan. Boil for 1 min until the sugar dissolves, then add the red onion and simmer for 1 min. Take off the heat, cover, and leave to cool completely.

  2. Mix the broccoli, carrots, cranberries and cashews in a large bowl. Add the cooled pickled onion, reserving the pickling liquid. 

  3. Whisk together the pickling liquid, oil, maple syrup and lemon zest and juice, along with 2 tbsp cold water. Pour over the vegetables and mix until well coated.
