A sweet salad traditionally served in Mexico for Christmas or New Year's Eve dinner as one of many desserts. Kids love it. Any apple works fine, but I prefer crunchy apples that aren't too sweet or tart such as Gala or Golden Delicious.

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 apples, diced
1 (16 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained 1 cup syrup reserved
1 cup raisins
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients except reserved syrup in a large bowl. Add syrup to taste if the salad looks too dry. Refrigerate for 30 minutes and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: The best apples for this salad are firm and tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Avoid using soft or mealy apples, as they will not hold their shape well.
  • Cut the apples evenly: Cutting the apples into uniform pieces will help them cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline, be sure to use the safety guard to protect your fingers.
  • Don't overcook the apples: The apples should be tender but still have a slight crunch. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds: Adding a variety of nuts and seeds to the salad will give it a crunchy texture and a boost of flavor. Some good options include walnuts, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 3 days ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The apples will start to brown if they are left to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Ensalada de manzana, or apple salad, is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
