Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice or white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon or wholegrain mustard
  • 1 quarter of a small red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium apple, cored and chopped
  • 20g sultanas or raisins
  • 50g reduced-fat hard cheese, cut into tiny chunks
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 4 wholemeal pitta breads

Directions

1

Whisk together the lemon juice or vinegar, olive oil, and mustard, then add all the remaining ingredients (apart from the pittas!) and toss together gently. Information: Use green cabbage instead of red, if you prefer.

2

Warm the pittas in a toaster or under the grill. Split open and stuff with the salad. Serve at once, or wrap and keep cool until lunchtime. Information: You could use chopped ready-to-eat dried apricots instead of raisins or sultanas.
