Categories     Fruit Sides

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 medium red apples, chopped
2 small zucchini, chopped
1/2 c walnuts, chopped
2/3 c italian salad dressing

Steps:

  • 1. In a serving bowl, toss the apples, zucchini, walnuts and salad dressing. Serve right away. Makes 6 servings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are large, soft, or have blemishes.
  • Slice the zucchini thinly: This will help the zucchini cook evenly and absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices of zucchini.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the zucchini, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the zucchini from cooking evenly.
  • Add the dressing while the zucchini is still warm: This will help the dressing soak into the zucchini and give it more flavor.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving will help the flavors meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Zucchini apple salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
