  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large fry pan
  • Use a dessert spoon and carefully drop spoonful of mixture (holding the spoon so the tip faces into the pan) into the hot oil
  • Cook until golden brown on the first side then flip to brown on the other side (approx
  • 3 minutes each side)
  • Remove from the oil and drain on kitchen paper
  • Keep warm
  • Repeat with the remaining batter until finished
  • To make the dressing mix all the ingredients together, taste and adjust lemon or seasoning
  • Chill until needed
  • To serve; serve the spring onion fritters with the tahini yoghurt and plenty of lemon wedges

  • Finely slice the celery heart, quarter the apple, remove its core and thinly slice the fruit
  • Sprinkle the apple with some of the lemon juice and add the apple slices to the salad greens
