Method

step 1

Tip the kale into a bowl and add 1/2 tsp oil. Rub the oil into the kale so it’s coated and slightly wilted. Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for 2 minutes until bright green and still crunchy. Drain and cool in ice water, then drain again and dry well on kitchen paper.
step 2

Whisk the dressing ingredients together with some seasoning and 1/2 tsp oil. Tip the broccoli, celery, cucumber, apple and dressing into the kale bowl and toss well. Divide between plates and scatter over the walnuts.

Cook's note: Kefir is a probiotic fermented milk made with kefir ‘grains’. It’s slightly sour, like a thin yogurt, and makes a great healthy – but creamy – salad dressing. Look for it next to the yogurt and search olivemagazine.com for more recipe ideas.
