Freshly pulled carrots from the vegetable garden this morning warranted a quick tasty salad for lunch with our first ripe apple from the orchard.

Flavoured with a little cumin and coriander, this wonderfully quick to prepare salad tastes great with a few other Middle Eastern style mezzes. A lovely flavourful lunch. Serves 2.

• 2-3 large carrots, scrubbed and grated
• 1 medium dessert apple grated
• 25 g pomegranate seeds
• juice of half a lemon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• half a teaspoon each of cumin and coriander powder
• salt and pepper

Mix the olive oil with the spices in a bowl and add the lemon juice. Whisk it all together with a fork and then add the grated carrots and apple, salt and pepper. Give everything a good stir. Add the pomegranate seeds and serve.
