Coat the pecans with maple syrup and toast under high grill for a few minutes. Allow to cool on a plate (so they don’t stick), then chop roughly. Place the lemon juice in a salad bowl and add chopped apples (this will stop them from going brown). Give a quick toss to make sure all the apples are coated then add celery and grapes. Strain the lemon juice from the apples, mix with remaining dressing ingredients in a jar and shake until combined. Taste and adjust to your liking. Add more mustard if needed. Pour over apple and celery mix and toss together. Add pork and tosswww.peninsulakids.com.au again. 87
