I often don’t have a portion control when I make salad. A little too much veggie goes in or a little too much greens. So I have to always find a different way to finish it rather eating the same bowl of salad for two meal in repeat. So this Crunchy Salad Served 4 Ways, and let it clear and say 4 EASY WAYS, comes handy on those days. This salad is adapted from Jamie Oliver’s cookbook - Jamie’s Kitchen

What ingredients goes in the Crunchy Salad ?

Carrots : Grate the carrot or thinly slice itRadishes : Thinly slice the radishApples : Thinly slice the applesCucmbers : I like to slice into riboons using a vegetable peeler as it gives a beautiful look to the saladFresh parsley : That’s the only green that goes in the salad

Chopping the vegetables takes the longest time so if you have a food processor, definitely bring it out and use it.

Dressing for the Crunchy Salad:

Red wine vinegarExtra virgin olive oilSesame paste or tahiniSalt and pepperThick stems of the parsley finely chopped

I do make a little extra dressing to drizzle on top when am serving the salad in different ways.

What are the 4 different ways to serve the salad:
