Ingredients

  • 2 apples diced
  • 3 celery sticks diced
  • cup pistachio nuts halved or crushed
  • cup blueberries halved
  • mint leaves to garnish

For the dressing

  • 1.5 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or white distilled vinegar optional
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper optional

Instructions

  • Add the pistachio nuts to a pan (without any oil) and toast on a low heat for 3-4 minutes until they become fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the dressing by combining the oil, vinegar (if using), honey, salt and pepper (if using) in a small bowl and stirring well to combine.
  • Add all the fruit and nuts to your serving bowl or plate, drizzle over the dressing and garnish with mint. You may have extra dressing left over for another dish. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Toast the pistachios without oil, giving them a stir occasionally so they don't catch and burn.
  • Dice the apple last as it can brown easily.
  • If you prefer to use foods scoring 0 on the SIGHI list, then swap out apple cider vinegar for distilled white vinegar. Or leave out altogether.
