- Description: 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, be careful weighing out nuts!)  
Handful of fresh rocket  
Olive oil  
Lemon juice  
Salt & pepper to season

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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'](https://biffs.co/our-food/?ref=pigpen.page)
- raisins or sultanas
- diced orange
