This is one of the Zaar recipes that I adopted. Thanks a bunch to Julesong for her suggestions in helping me edit the recipe! Note: to make this salad low carb, substitute jicama for the apples and turnips for the potatoes.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/3 cups ham, diced and cooked
2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
3/4 cup potato, diced and cooked
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
3 small dill pickles, chopped (about 1/4 c)
1/3 cup buttermilk dressing or 1/3 cup feta cheese dressing
1 teaspoon minced onion
lettuce leaf, to garnish
paprika, to garnish

Steps:

  • Combine ingredients and serve on lettuce leaves.
  • Garnish with paprika.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • If you don't have any lemon juice, you can use white vinegar instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as vinegar is more acidic than lemon juice.
  • If you are using a food processor to shred the apples, be sure to use the pulse setting. This will help to prevent the apples from turning into mush.
  • Be sure to drain the apples well after they have been shredded. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • If you are making the salad ahead of time, be sure to cover it tightly and refrigerate it. The salad will keep for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. You can also top it with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

Conclusion:

Dutch apple salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy salad, give Dutch apple salad a try.
