1. Cook the potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and continue cooking for 5–8 minutes or until the potatoes and sprouts are tender but not soft. Drain and place in a serving bowl with the apple, celery and spring onions.
2. Whisk together the apple juice, vinegar, flour, mustard, horseradish, oil and caraway seeds in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over a medium heat, whisking constantly. Simmer for 2 minutes.
3. Pour the hot dressing over the vegetables and toss to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Some more ideas…

• You can use frozen sprouts: Thaw them first. Cook the potatoes for 8 minutes before you add the sprouts, then cook together for 3–5 minutes.
• Use new potatoes in place of red potatoes. Leave whole if they are small; cut larger ones into small cubes.
• Serve this as a side dish with lean roast meat, particularly beef or poultry.
