Apple Walnut Summer Salad

Healthy and refreshing Apple Walnut Salad drizzled with a sharp Honey Mustard Vinaigrette makes for a great summer salad.

Course appetizer  Prep Time 10 minutes  Servings  -serving INGREDIENTS For the Salad 1 Apple 1 tsp Lemon Juice 1 Romaine Lettuce small head of (Or any other lettuce of your choice) ½ cup Cherry Tomatoes 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice 6 - 8 Walnuts , roughly chopped For the Dressing 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar 6 teaspoons Olive Oil 2 teaspoons Honey to taste Salt and Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Core and slice the apples thinly and immediately toss them with lemon juice. This will prevent the apples from oxidising and turning brown.
2. Tear lettuce with your hands and halve the cherry tomatoes.
3. Add apples, lettuce and cherry tomatoes (in that order) to a large bowl and set aside.
4. To make the dressing, add mustard and vinegar to a bowl and mix. Add the olive oil slowly while whisking continuously and you will notice the dressing emulsifying. Add honey, salt and pepper and give it one last mix.
5. Toss the salad with dressing and sprinkle with walnuts just before serving.

RECIPE NOTES

Notes

This recipe makes extra dressing and I feel a tablespoon or two of dressing is enough to dress the salad. The remaining dressing can be stored in an air-tight jar in a fridge.

You can use a combination of lettuce for this salad.

While preparing the salad for a crowd, add the apple to the bowl first so that it does not crush the lettuce.

You can store the salad and dressing separately in a sealed container in the refrigerator till ready to serve.

Toss the dressing just before serving to avoid the salad from getting soggy.
