Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Finely grate the zest from the lemon into a large bowl. Squeeze in the juice from half the lemon. Scoop in the wholegrain mustard and 1 tbsp honey. Drizzle in 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk to make a smooth dressing. Taste and add more lemon juice, if needed.

    Trim, peel and finely slice the red onion. Strip the kale leaves off their woody stalks then finely shred the leaves. Add the onion and kale to the salad bowl. Use your hands to massage the kale and onion into the dressing till the leaves are softened – about 1-2 mins.

    Finely slice the celery stick. Quarter the apples, discarding the cores. Finely slice each quarter. Add the celery and apples to the bowl. Roughly chop the parsley leaves and add to the bowl. Scatter in half the pack of sourdough croutons. Toss well to mix.
