Don’t be put off by all the raw vegetables in here – they really go well together and it is good to realise that not all salads have to be about tomatoes and lettuce.

⅓ of a head of broccoli
2 sticks of celery
2 spring onions or scallions
1 green apple, preferable Granny Smith’s

1 dessertspoon of low-fat French dressing

Break the broccoli into bite size florets and add to the bowl with the sliced celery, chopped apple and finely sliced spring onions or scallions
Sprinkle over the fresh herbs and pour over 1 dessertspoon of the dressing
