- 1 stalk of celery
- 2 shallots
- 2 ½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ¾ tsp salt

Method
In a small saucepan, combine 90 g of cashews with 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of honey. Season the mixture with ½ tsp of garam masala, ¼ tsp of chili powder, ¼ tsp of turmeric, and ⅓ tsp of salt. Cook the cashews over medium heat, stirring often for about 7-8 minutes, until they are sticky. Once done, spread the cashews onto baking paper to cool.

In a separate small bowl, mix 2 ½ tbsp of olive oil, one grated garlic clove, and 1 tsp of lemon zest with ¾ tsp of salt, ¼ tsp of pepper, and 3 tbsp of lemon juice; whisk well to combine. Pour this dressing over the vegetables, mixing thoroughly to coat. Transfer the salad to a large serving plate and top it with the spicy cashews, ready to serve.
