Ingredients

12 total
  • ¼ white cabbage (100g), cored and finely shredded
  • ½ granny smith apple (50g), cored and thinly sliced
  • 100g celeriac, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • 70g mixed salad leaves
  • 15g chives, finely chopped
  • 15g flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ lemon, juiced, plus 1 tbsp juice
  • 2 roast chicken breast fillets, skin removed, shredded
  • 1 tbsp mixed seeds, toasted
  • 2 heaped tsp wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tsp maple syrup (approx.)
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Method

3 steps
  1. Step 1

    Put the cabbage, apple, celeriac, salad leaves and half the chives and parsley in a large bowl. Add the 1 tbsp lemon juice and toss well.

  2. Step 2

    To make the dressing, put the mustard, maple syrup, olive oil and remaining lemon juice into a clean lidded jar, seal and shake to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper; adjust the sweetness with a little more maple syrup, if liked.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the cabbage mix between 2 plates or lunchboxes and top with the chicken, mixed seeds and remaining chives and parsley. If serving straight away, drizzle over the dressing; otherwise pack it in a separate container until needed – this will avoid soggy leaves. Keep chilled until ready to serve and eat within 2 days.
