Because I grow beets I eat them a lot. This is among my favorite recipes. One heads-up: The beets usually turn the apples pinkish-red (maybe your fingers, too). - Kathy Rairigh, Milford, Indiana

RUBY APPLE SALAD

Ruby Apple Salad image

This is a pretty salad and tastes good, too. There are 22 apple growers in the county where I live, so I have plenty of fresh apples to use for cooking. Years ago, there used to be local apple contests that my two children and I would enter. One year we made a clean sweep of the awards - and I believe this recipe was one of the winners!

Tips:

Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well in a salad, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
Slice the apples thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing and cook evenly.
Use a sharp knife: This will give you clean, even slices.
Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You can always add more if needed.
Serve the salad immediately: The apples will start to brown if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Ruby apple salad is a refreshing and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its sweet and tart flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
