Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and olive oil until well combined. Set aside.
- Apples: Core and slice the apples into thin wedges or bite-sized pieces. If preferred, you can peel the apples first.
- Celery: Wash the celery stalk and cut it into thin slices.
- Walnuts: Roughly chop the walnuts for added texture.
- Onion: Peel and chop the onion.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the apples, celery, walnuts, and onion.
4. Dress the Salad:
- Pour the vinegar and olive oil dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or you can refrigerate it for about 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Tips:
- Choose crisp, tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast with the sweet and savory elements of the salad.
- To enhance the flavor of the walnuts, toast them lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the salad.
- If you’re not a fan of raw onions, try soaking them in cold water for about 10 minutes to mellow their flavor.
- Feel free to add a sprinkle of blue cheese or goat cheese for an extra layer of tanginess.
- For a more robust flavor, you can add some chopped parsley or a handful of dried cranberries.
