Why this works

A flavourful salad with decent fibre and vitamin C, but it is relatively high in salt, saturated fat and energy because of the chorizo.

Vitamin C. Oranges provide a strong vitamin C boost, supporting immune function and iron absorption.

Fibre and polyphenols. Apples and red onion add fibre and plant compounds that support gut health and help with satiety.

Salt and saturated fat. Chorizo is the main source of sodium and saturated fat, so this dish is best enjoyed occasionally or in smaller portions.

Method

Slice the chorizo and red onion, and cut the apples into thin wedges; peel the oranges and separate into segments.
Warm a dry frying pan over a medium heat and cook the chorizo until it starts to release its oil and crisp at the edges.
Add the red onion to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and lightly caramelised.
Stir through the apple wedges and orange segments just long enough to warm through, then tip into a serving bowl.
Spoon the yoghurt over the top as a dressing, then gently toss and serve immediately.
