For salad:

• 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.

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.
