½ red cabbage
about 450g/1lb
2 celery
sticks, with their leaves
175g Brussels sprouts
trimmed
1 red-skinned eating apple
cored, but with the skin left on
2 carrots
peeled
175g mixed nut
such as brazils, walnuts and roasted cashews
100g stilton

For the dressing

6 tbsp light olive oil
or sunflower oil
4 tbsp cranberry
sauce
5 tbsp fresh orange juice

Method

step 1
Fit your food processor with the slicing blade. Cut the hard white core from the cabbage, then shred the leaves and slice the celery, sprouts and apple in the processor. With the grating attachment, grate the carrots. Roughly chop the nuts, either in the processor or by hand.
step 2
In a small bowl, mix the oil with the cranberry sauce. It will look quite cloudy and thick, but don’t worry – add the orange juice next and it will all thin out into a fruity dressing.
step 3
Tip all the chopped veg and nuts into a big bowl, pour in the dressing and toss together. (The salad will keep in a covered container for up to a day in the fridge.) Season and serve with stilton crumbled over the top.
