Tips:

  • Choose ripe, crisp apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji are all good options.
  • Use fresh, raw cashews: Roasted or salted cashews will not work as well.
  • Cut the celery and apples into thin slices: This will help them absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a light, tangy dressing: A vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good option.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Cilantro, parsley, or mint would all be good choices.
  • Serve the salad immediately: The apples will start to brown if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Cashew apple salad is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples. The combination of sweet apples, crunchy cashews, and tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at your table.
