Low-protein Waldorf Salad
An easy, & PKU-friendly Waldorf salad for a quick, healthy lunch. 1g protein / 1 phe in the UK. I use pine nuts for the protein as you get more 'nuts' per serving.
Ingredients:
1 red apple
1/2 stalk celery (optional)
20 g PKU friendly feta cheese, diced or crumbled
6g pinenuts or walnuts (1g protein)
Handful of fresh rocket
Olive oil
Lemon juice
Salt & pepper to season
- Core & dice the apple. Put this into a large bowl and sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt to bring out the flavour while you prepare the rest of the salad.
- Dice the celery and the cheese then mix into with the apple with the pine nuts and rocket. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
- Mix and taste to see if it needs more salt & pepper.
Optional extras
I will often add in a few bits which I have in the fridge. So far, the following have made great additions to change the meal up a bit:
- diced avocado
- plant-based & low-protein 'salmon'
- raisins or sultanas
- diced orange
