FENNEL-APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS



Fennel-Apple Salad With Walnuts image

A bright and tangy salad cuts the heaviness of the typical Thanksgiving meal. This one, with fennel, celery, apples and toasted walnuts, is all crunch, which the carb-heavy meal can generally use more of. You can make the dressing a day ahead and store it in the fridge, but don't dress the salad until an hour before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Don't peel the apples. The skin of the apples contains a lot of nutrients, so it's best to leave it on. Just be sure to wash the apples thoroughly before using them.
  • Cut the apples into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly. If you're using a mandoline, be sure to use the safety guard to avoid cutting yourself.
  • Don't overcook the apples. They should be tender but still slightly crisp. If you overcook them, they'll become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Add your favorite nuts and seeds. This will give your salad a crunchy texture and extra flavor. Some good choices include walnuts, pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the flavor of the apples. A simple vinaigrette or yogurt dressing is a good choice.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Apple salad is best when it's fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Apple salad is a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. It's a great way to use up leftover apples, and it's also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. With so many variations to choose from, there's sure to be an apple salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
