Loading

This epic gluten-free vegan salad is an absolute must! It takes a bit of effort, but it鈥檚 well worth the wait.

Ingredients

For the pickled raisins

For the vegan mayonnaise

For the celeriac and apple remoulade

For the blue cheese beignets

For the walnuts

For the scorched lettuce

Method

  1. To make the pickled raisins, put all the ingredients, except for the raisins, in a saucepan with 300ml/10fl oz water and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. While still warm, pour over the raisins in a sealable plastic container, and leave overnight.

  2. To make the mayonnaise, use a hand-held blender to whisk together the soya milk, vinegar and lemon juice. Slowly drizzle in the oil, while still blending, until you have a thick mayonnaise-like consistency. Season to taste.

  3. To make the celeriac and apple remoulade, season the celeriac with the 1 tablespoon of the celery salt in a bowl and leave for 20 minutes.

  4. Rinse the salt off the celeriac through a sieve and tip onto a clean tea towel. Gather up the edges and twist to squeeze out any excess moisture. Tip into a clean bowl.

  5. Add the Granny Smith apples to the celeriac. Mix the mayonnaise and the mustard together, then fold into the celeriac and apple until fully combined. Season to taste using celery salt, black pepper and lemon juice.

  6. To make the cheese beignets, preheat a deep-fat fryer to 180C. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)

  7. Mix together the cornflour with 75ml/2陆fl oz water in a shallow bowl. Put the plain flour in a second shallow bowl and the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.

  8. Dip each blue cheese wedge into the flour, then into the cornflour mix, then into the breadcrumbs. Make sure they are all evenly coated.

  9. Deep-fry the bon bons for 2鈥3 minutes until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

  10. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.

  11. Line a baking tray with baking paper and grease with rapeseed oil. Sprinkle the walnuts over the baking paper and dust with icing sugar.

  12. Bake for 4鈥5 minutes, until just starting to caramelise. Season with salt and set aside to cool.

  13. Scorch the inside of the lettuce with a blow torch (alternatively griddle the lettuce, cut side down, on a hot griddle pan), and season with vinaigrette and nutritional yeast flakes.

  14. Place the lettuce onto a serving plate and top with the remoulade, raisins, walnuts, yeast flakes, celery leaves and watercress. The cheese on the side.

Recipe Tips

You can make the mayonnaise the night before and store in a sealed container in the fridge.
