📝 Ingredients

  • 1 cup pearled spelt
  • 2/3 cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
  • 5 oz blue cheese (chopped and crumbled)
  • 2 apples (cored and thinly sliced)
  • 5 oz red grapes (cut into thirds)
  • 7 oz mixed salad leaves

  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp water (optional)

  2. 2Place a small frying pan on a high heat and toast the walnuts until brown. Give them a stir after 2 minutes to ensure they are toasted evenly. (note 2)
  3. 3Make the dressing by mixing the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard and water (if needed) until combined. (note 3)
  4. 4Place all ingredients into a large salad bowl, pour the dressing on and toss until all ingredients and dressing are combined.
