Did you know you can eat swede raw? It’s a crisp vegetable with a peppery flavour that works great shredded in slaws or remoulade, just like celeriac or cabbage. Here, we’ve combined nutty tahini and fresh dill for a top-notch dressing and some apple slices for sweetness. It’s a great ‘slaw recipe for the winter months.

Method

Cut the swede and carrots into matchsticks or coarsely grate them in a food processor or with a box grater. Core and thinly slice the apple. Put them all in a large bowl.
Put the tahini, lemon juice, honey, oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a jug with 2 tbsp ice-cold water and whisk together until combined and smooth. Pour this over the chopped veg and add the dill. Stir everything together until evenly coated.
