Apple Salad with Toasted Mustard Seeds and Herbs

This crisp apple salad with toasted mustard seeds and herbs is a vibrant, low-sugar dish that balances sweetness with a sharp, savoury punch. By toasting the mustard seeds until they pop and then simmering them in apple cider vinegar, you create a complex, textured dressing that elevates simple fruit into a sophisticated side dish. It is a refreshing alternative to traditional leafy salads, offering a satisfying crunch and a bright, acidic finish.

Perfect for a light lunch or as an accompaniment to roasted meats, this healthy recipe showcases seasonal fruit in a contemporary way. The combination of flat-leaf parsley and fresh chives adds an earthy depth that cuts through the honey-glazed seeds. It is a quick, gluten-free option for those looking for a flavourful, nutrient-dense addition to their weekly menu.
