Method
step 1
Put the lemon zest and juice, the vinegar, tahini, honey, yogurt and olive oil in a large bowl. Season and mix well, then taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add a splash of water if the dressing is too thick – the tahini can cause the yogurt to thicken.
step 2
Halve and finely slice the sprouts; do this easily by using the slicing attachment on your food processor – a knife works just as well, but takes much longer. Tip the sliced sprouts into the dressing along with the onion, apple, pomegranate seeds, walnuts and mint. Toss everything together until well coated in the dressing. Let stand for at least 20 mins before serving to allow the sprouts and onion to soften a little. Scatter over a few mint leaves.
