Best Mesclun Salad With Stilton Grapes And Apple Recipes

APPLE GRAPE SALAD

Apple Grape Salad image

I've made this recipe featuring apples and grapes for special dinners all through my 46 married years, and it's always been a hit. My sister worked for a farm wife during the late '30s and early '40s, and she got this recipe from her. It's especially delicious when the apples are freshly picked, and it adds wonderful color to any table! -Kathryn Booher, Laguna Hills, California
