Original recipe of the week: Fennel, Blackberry and Coriander Salad with Roasted Peanuts

When all you’ve eaten is rubbish over the past week or so, and you’re in need of a healthy pick-me-up, this salad is a tough one to beat. This recipe is packed full of fresh, energising fruit and veg to give you a real health-boost; fennel is especially fantastic for the digestive tract and provides a healthy amount of vitamin C. 

This salad can be eaten either as a snack or light lunch, or a side dish accompanied by something more substantial; if you like delicious food that is made in a flash, light on the stomach, tasty on the tongue and pleasing to the eye, this salad really is a winner.
