ROASTED APPLE AND CHEDDAR SALAD



Roasted Apple and Cheddar Salad image

Recipe from Eating Well and placed here for safe keeping. They say you can easily sub pears for the apples if you like. . .heck, I used some of each! This recipe is low carb, diabetic appropriate, low calorie, high fiber and gluten free - so it's a good one to serve at a party because it is sure to please everyone! And don't get hung up on the endive in the recipe; I know it's expensive and I just subbed it out for more spinach. I might also suggest a sprinkle of craisins or dried tart cherries on top; I felt it needed that since the apples/pears get super sweet in the oven and the tartness really brought everything together! Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate dressing (Step 2) for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Select the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well when tossed in a salad, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing and flavors better.
  • Use a sharp cheddar cheese: This will give the salad a bolder flavor.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Toss the salad gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best when served fresh. The apples will start to brown if they sit for too long.
