Whoa. If you like raw leeks read on. If not move on.

Sometimes I have a hankering for onion or garlic. Today it was raw leek. That sharp flavour stinging the roof of my mouth.

So I made this salad -

3 cleaned leeks, trimmed and finely sliced into fine rings.
1 large or 2 small eating apples, cored and chopped.
1/4 red cabbage finely shredded. (any cabbage would do, it's for the crunch).
Hadful of crushed or broken raw nuts (I used pecans).

Dressing -
1/4 of an avocado
few nuts
2 tabespoons of plain soy yoghurt
Squeeze of lemon juice
Teaspoon of Dijon or English mustard
Dash of chilli sauce if you like it spicy
3 tablespoons of water.
Clove of garlic.

Method
Mix salad ingredients to break up the leeks.
Whizz up dressing ingredients in vita mix or blender.
Mix dressing in thoroughly.

I served this with a carrot and sweet potato pudding that I found in the freezer (which was nice) but sadly can't exactly recall how I made it!
