I was sorting out my recipe box notes and cuttings when I came across this recipe from one of my cousins in Białystok for a salad made from carrots, leeks and apples.
I had not noted down whether the leeks were just sliced or if they were blanched as well so I tried both ways and both salads were super.
Ingredients
- 2-3 carrots
- 1 leek
- 1- 2 eating apples – Braeburns are good
- Juice of a lemon
- 2-3 tablespoons of Mayonnaise
- Salt & pepper to taste
Method – 1
- Grate the carrots using a coarse grater.
- Thinly slice the leeks and cut the rings into halve or quarters.
- Core the apple and chop into small chunks.
- Pore the lemon juice over the salad.
- Add the mayonnaise and mix well.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
Method – 2
- As above except for the leeks.
- Put the cut leeks into hot water and simmer for a few minutes.
- Allow the leeks to cool.
- Drain the leeks and pat dry with kitchen roll or a clean tea towel.
- Mix all the ingredients together.
