Apple Salad with Candied Walnuts and Cranberries

Step 1

Place butter in a small non stick skillet over medium heat. When melted, add sugar. Stir briefly, then leave until the sugar mostly melts.

Step 2

When it starts bubbling a bit, add nuts.

Step 3

Stir 2 minutes. Pour out on parchment paper lined tray.

Step 4

Spread nuts out, allow to cool. Roughly chop half, leave some whole.

Step 5

Place in a bowl, pour over freshly boiled water. Leave to soak 10 minutes then drain.

Step 6

Drizzle with lemon juice and toss (stops apple from browning).

Step 7

Place Dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well. Adjust to taste - more oil to make it creamier, sugar for sweet, vinegar for tart.

Step 8

Place salad in a large bowl with half the apple slices and all the onion. Drizzle with half the dressing then toss.

Step 9

Scatter over the cranberries, desired amount of walnuts, remaining apple slices and feta. Drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve immediately!
