APPLE ICEBERG SALAD
I created this recipe when my children were small and fussed about eating fruits and vegetables. The slightly sweet dressing makes it a hit. This iceberg salad was part of our Friday meal when I served fried fish and boiled potatoes. My grown children call this "Mom's Salad". -M.J. Zimmerman, Altoona, Pennsylvania

ICEBERG LETTUCE SALAD WITH RADISHES
I salt the radishes first and let them sit for a few minutes, which makes them milder. Add in iceberg lettuce last, right before serving.

Tips:
- Choose Iceberg lettuce and red apples that are crisp and fresh.
- Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to thinly slice your ingredients. This will help them cook evenly and wilt less.
- Don't overcook the apple and nuts. They should be tender but still retain some of their crunch.
- For a sweeter salad, use sweeter apples; for a tarter salad, use tarter apples.
- Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste. You can also substitute another sweetener, such as agave nectar or brown sugar.
- Add a handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as mint, cilantro, or basil, for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Apple Iceberg salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples. The sweetness of the apples pairs perfectly with the cool, crisp Iceberg lettuce, and the nuts add a crunchy texture. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and healthy salad that the whole family will enjoy.
