Savoury Fruit Salad
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
2 apples finely sliced
1 cucumber finely sliced
1 red onion finely sliced
1 handful of raisins
Dressing
1 tbs of horseradish sauce
Juice of a one freshly squeezed lemon
50 ml of good quality virgin olive oil
6 sprigs of finely chopped dill
This is a delicious savoury salad made entirely from fruit… and an onion. We don’t often think of cucumber as a fruit, but a fruit it is. There’s quite a bit of chopping involved with this dish so either use a food processor that can do the chopping for you or a vegetable slicer.
The other main ingredient of this dish is fresh dill. Dill has been found to contain monoterpene which has been shown to activate the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase. This basically significantly reduces the damaging effect of oxidation which is important if we want to reduce the signs of ageing.
Recipe
- Toss together the sliced fruits and onion.
- Mix the dressing. Drizzle over your salad and serve immediately.
