Fennel, Apple and Candied Walnuts

This refreshing crunchy salad is super simple; it really just involved chopping the fruit and vegetables into thin strips. Packed with fiber and the fennel is so good for healthy digestion. I often serve this as a vegetarian side at BBQs as it is the perfect accompaniment for grilled pork or fish. If you want to make this vegan then simply replace the honey with maple syrup.

• Half a yellow or red pepper
• 100g of walnuts

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Roast the walnuts for 10 minutes, then remove and toss in honey before returning for a further 10 minutes until candied.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by whisking the lemon juice with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
