Oriental Dressing
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1⁄2 teaspoon sesame oil
1⁄2 teaspoon reduced-salt soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
pepper to taste
  1. Cut the carrot into 4 cm lengths. Slice thinly lengthwise, then cut into very fine matchsticks. Cut the celery into matchsticks the same size. Core the apple and cut into 8 wedges, then thinly slice the wedges crosswise to make fan-shaped pieces.

  3. To make the dressing, whisk together all the ingredients, seasoning with pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss well to coat evenly and serve.
