Tips
- Choose the right apples. For this salad, you'll want to use a firm, tart apple that will hold its shape when tossed with the other ingredients. Some good options include Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Honeycrisp.
- Toast the walnuts. Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese you use in this salad should be flavorful and melty. Some good options include sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or Manchego.
- Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing for this salad can be made up to a day in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The apples will start to brown if they sit for too long.
Conclusion
This apple, cheese, and toasted walnut salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet apples, sharp cheese, and crunchy walnuts is sure to please everyone at your table.
