AUTUMN APPLE SALAD



Autumn Apple Salad image

Whether I make it for a Sunday dinner, a company dinner or a covered-dish dinner, people like the blend of flavor in this salad. The ladies ask for the recipe...the men ask me to make sure their wives get a copy of it! Our house is on the edge of town. It has lots of room for gardening (my husband, my parents and grandparents, all lived on farms). I'm a second-grade teacher with two boys, 5 and 2, who "help" Mommy cook.

My first taste of this was at a covered dish. Ohhh, how I remember that surprisingly delicious taste! I am thankful that the lady shared her recipe with me. It has become a family favorite. Whenever I carry it to a covered dish everyone asks for this recipe. Sometimes I use it as a gelatin salad and other times, as a desert. It is great served with angel food cake. I hope you try this quick easy dish and enjoy it.

Salads are a perfect way to enjoy your fruits and vegetables. They are healthy, easy to make, and versatile. One such salad that is incredibly refreshing and delicious is the Apple Pineapple Cheese Salad. As the name suggests, it is a combination of apples, pineapples, and cheese. The salad is easy to prepare and ideal for any occasion. In this article, we will share some valuable tips on how to make an Apple Pineapple Cheese Salad recipe.

Choose the Right Apples

Apples are the foundation of this salad, and choosing the right type of apple is crucial. It is best to choose firm apples that have a crisp texture and a sweet taste. The most popular variety of apple used in this salad is the Granny Smith, which has a slightly sour taste and crunch. Apples like Red Delicious or Gala, which are sweet and juicy, can also be used.

Preparing the Pineapple

When preparing the pineapple for this salad, it is important to use fresh pineapples. Canned pineapples will not give you the same taste and texture that fresh pineapples do. To prepare the pineapple, slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand the pineapple upright and cut off the skin, making sure to remove the "eyes," which are tough and unpleasant to eat. After that, slice the pineapple in half and scoop out the core. Cut the pineapple into small pieces or thin slices.

Choosing the Right Cheese

Cheese is the third important ingredient in this salad. It is essential to choose a cheese that complements the sweetness of the fruits. Mild, soft cheeses like Feta, Boursin, or Goat Cheese, are the most popular choices. However, if you prefer stronger flavors, you could use cheddar or blue cheese. Make sure to cut the cheese into small cubes to blend well with the fruits.

Add Texture with Nuts

Adding nuts to this salad is an excellent way to add some texture and crunch. Walnuts, almonds, or pecans are the most commonly used nuts in this recipe. Roasting the nuts before adding them to the salad is an excellent way to give them a nutty flavor and crunch.

Choosing the Right Dressing

The dressing is a crucial component in this salad, and choosing the right dressing is essential. Since the fruits in this salad are incredibly sweet, it is best to use a light dressing that does not overpower the flavors of the fruits. A basic vinaigrette made with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, and salt and pepper is an excellent choice. Alternatively, a poppy seed or honey mustard dressing also works well.
Conclusion
In conclusion, an Apple Pineapple Cheese Salad is a perfect salad for any occasion. It is easy to make, refreshing, and incredibly tasty. The key to making a perfect salad is to use fresh ingredients and choose the right dressing. The above tips will help you make a delicious salad that everyone will love.
