APPLE AND WALNUT SALAD



Apple and Walnut Salad image

This apple and walnut salad may be the simplest to make, but with its fresh, crisp greens, apples, and beautifully toasted walnuts, it is just delicious.

Provided by Elaine Lemm

Categories     Side Dish     Entree     Appetizer     Lunch     Salad

Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup walnut halves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (good quality)
1 pinch kosher salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 head crisp romaine lettuce
1 rib celery
2 scallions
2 Granny Smith apples

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  • Place the walnuts on a small baking sheet. Roast on the center oven rack for 7 minutes. The walnuts should be a lovely golden brown color and no darker (if they get too dark, they will become bitter).
  • In a small bowl or a ramekin, combine the olive oil and a little balsamic at a time, whisking as you go until you create a thick, glossy dressing. Taste the dressing and add a little salt and pepper to taste.
  • Chop the lettuce into strips and finely slice the celery and scallions. Keep to one side.
  • When you are ready to serve the salad, cut the apples into quarters, then remove the core, slice thickly, and cut the slices in half. You are looking for a nice small chunk of apple.
  • Divide the salad greens and veggies between bowls or assemble in a large serving dish, then sprinkle apples over the top of each. Gently crush the walnuts over each so all the pieces fall onto the salad. Using a teaspoon, drizzle with the dressing. Serve immediately.

CHOPPED SALAD WITH APPLES, WALNUTS AND BITTER LETTUCES



Chopped Salad With Apples, Walnuts and Bitter Lettuces image

The best place for a salad on the Thanksgiving menu is at the beginning of the meal, before everybody fills up. We often pass around plates of this vegetarian chopped salad (no bacon) to accompany the drinks before we sit down at the table. The salad is a great mix of bitter and sweet flavors, juicy and crunchy, and comforting, too. Sweet/tart, crisp juicy apples like Braeburns, Jonagolds, Honey Crisp and Granny Smith work well here.
