TOSSED GREENS WITH PINEAPPLE, APPLE AND FETA CHEESE



Tossed Greens With Pineapple, Apple and Feta Cheese image

This is a simple tossed salad, and I love the fact that the vinaigrette is oil-free. The dressing has a bit of a tang to it, but it is well-balanced by the sweetness of the fruit. I used Golden Delicious apples since they don't turn brown when cut, and romaine lettuce for the greens. I think the greens should be something "sturdy" to hold up to the apples and pineapple. Spinach would also be great! This recipe comes from Del Monte. Edited to note that I have this posted in the vegan category, even though feta cheese is listed in the ingredients because I have made this without cheese, too, and it is also good that way.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use crisp, firm apples that hold their shape well in salads, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing and blend well with the other ingredients.
  • Toast the nuts: Toasting nuts enhances their flavor and makes them more crunchy.
  • Use a variety of greens: Mix and match different types of greens, such as romaine lettuce, arugula, and spinach, to add texture and flavor to the salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Tossed salads are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them as soon as they are made.

Conclusion:

Apple nut tossed salad is a refreshing and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its variety of textures, flavors, and colors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
