Curried apple, fennel & carrot couscous salad
Who introduced apple to curry? We’d like to buy them dinner! Sweet, crunchy apple mingles with curry-roasted carrots and fennel, fluffy couscous, lettuce and coriander. Then comes a garlicky yogurt dressing to bring the whole happy gathering together. A salad, yes – but one that definitely has main-meal energy.

Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- 1x baking tray lined with baking paper
- 1x small bowl
- 1x large mixing bowl
Ready, set, prep!
- Dice the carrots into 2cm chunks. Trim the fennel bulbs, then cut them lengthways into quarters.
- Peel the onions and cut them in half. Slice 3 halves (or 2 whole onions for 4 portions) into wedges.
- Put the veg on a baking tray lined with baking paper and spritz with cooking spray.
Roast the veg
- In a small bowl, mix together the curry powder and cinnamon. Scatter one third over the veg and roast for 22-25 mins, until soft.
- Mix the yogurt, garlic paste and vinegar into the remaining spice mix and set aside.
Slice, dice & chop
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining onion half (the whole onion for 4 portions). Trim the lettuces and thinly slice. Quarter and core the apples, then dice into ½cm cubes.
- Finely chop the coriander.
Sort your couscous
- Put the couscous in a large bowl and lightly season to taste with salt. Pour in enough boiled water to just cover the couscous, stir well, cover and leave for 5 mins, until the water is absorbed.
Bring it all together
- Add the sliced onion, lettuce, apple and coriander to the couscous and stir it all together.
- Top the couscous with the roasted veg, then drizzle over the dressing and serve.
