Autumn Salad With Apples and Candied Walnuts image

I got this recipe from and friend and it is my favorite salad. I like to use a lot more sugar than the recipe calls for - About 2-3 tablespoons, but I'll leave the recipe as written and you can sweeten to taste. I also like to use pecans in place of the walnuts.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For this salad, you'll want to use a firm, tart apple that will hold its shape when roasted, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Roast the apples until they are tender: You want the apples to be soft enough to easily pierce with a fork, but not so soft that they are mushy.
  • Candied walnuts add a delicious crunch: Simply toss the walnuts in a mixture of sugar, butter, and cinnamon, then toast them in the oven until they are golden brown.
  • Use a light vinaigrette dressing: This will allow the flavors of the apples, walnuts, and cheese to shine through.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This is a salad best enjoyed fresh, as the apples and walnuts will start to soften over time.

Conclusion:

This roasted apple and candied walnut salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet apples, crunchy walnuts, and creamy cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this one a try!
