TAFFY APPLE SALAD



Taffy Apple Salad image

This is a really great recipe that I found in a Taste of Home cookbook. Plan a little bit ahead because it is really easy to make but does involve some chilling time. The salted peanuts really contrast nicely with the sweet ingredients. Make your salad pretty by adding some extra peanuts and apple slices to the top or layer it in a clear trifle dish. Enjoy!

  • Add some nuts for crunch. Walnuts, pecans, and almonds are all good options.
  • Dress the salad just before serving. This will help to keep the apples from getting soggy.
