Gooseberries are summer super stars. In this salad they make a sharp and sweet dressing for ribbons of carrot and courgette and snappy sugar snap peas. Toasted peanut crunch tops it off.

Method

1. Heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 1 min. Tip in the peanuts. Toast for 3-4 mins till golden. Shake the pan occasionally. Tip out onto a chopping board. When cooled, roughly chop.

2. Peel and grate the ginger. Whisk it with the honey, tamari and 1 tbsp olive oil to make a dressing. Slice the gooseberries as thinly as possibly and add them to the dressing to macerate.

3. Shave ribbons off the carrot and courgette using a veg peeler. When you get to the cores, stop and finely chop them.

4. Slice the sugar snap peas into long shreds (pods and peas). Place them in a bowl with the carrot and courgette ribbons. Add the alfalfa sprouts and toss together.

5. Fold the gooseberries and dressing through the veg. Scatter over the chopped toasted peanuts to serve.
