Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Granny Smith apples are a classic choice for this salad, as they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that pairs well with the sweet cranberries. However, you can use any type of apple you like. Just keep in mind that softer apples, like McIntosh or Honeycrisp, will break down more easily.
  • Make the vinaigrette ahead of time: The cranberry vinaigrette can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts brings out their nutty flavor and adds a nice crunch to the salad.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries are available in most grocery stores during the fall and winter months. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries instead.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The apples will start to brown if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This apple salad with cranberry vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing side dish that's perfect for any occasion. The sweet apples, tart cranberries, and crunchy walnuts are tossed in a tangy vinaigrette dressing that brings all the flavors together. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
