FENNEL-APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS



Fennel-Apple Salad With Walnuts image

A bright and tangy salad cuts the heaviness of the typical Thanksgiving meal. This one, with fennel, celery, apples and toasted walnuts, is all crunch, which the carb-heavy meal can generally use more of. You can make the dressing a day ahead and store it in the fridge, but don't dress the salad until an hour before serving.

APPLE CRANBERRY RAISIN PIE



Apple Cranberry Raisin Pie image

One of the best fruit pies I have eaten in a long time. This is a Canadian Living recipe that I had wanted to try for a while but it was a matter of having all of the ingredients on hand, which I finally did. The pie itself bakes very quickly as the filling is precooked.

Provided by Irmgard

Categories     Pie

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie
2 cups cranberries
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup seedless raisin
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • On a lightly-floured surface, roll out half of the pastry and line a 9" pie plate.
  • In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, 2 tablespoons of the water, cinnamon and salt.
  • Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the cranberries pop.
  • Stir in the apple slices and raisins.
  • Combine the corn starch and remaining water and blend into the cranberry mixture.
  • Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes or until thickened slightly.
  • Spoon the filling into the pastry-lined pie plate.
  • Roll out the remaining pastry and place on top of the pie, leaving a 1" overhang.
  • Trim the edges.
  • Tuck the overhang under the bottom crust and press together to form a rim.
  • Flute the rim.
  • Cut steam vents in the top of the pie and bake in a 400 degree F oven for about 35 minutes or until the crust is golden.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to dice the apples and cranberries: This will help to prevent them from becoming bruised or mushy.
  • Add the raisins to the salad just before serving: This will help to prevent them from becoming too plump and soggy.
  • If you don't have any celery on hand, you can substitute another crunchy vegetable, such as jicama or water chestnuts.
  • For a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The flavors will meld together and the salad will become even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Apple Cranberry Raisin Salad is a refreshing and festive side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
