APPLE ICEBERG SALAD



Apple Iceberg Salad image

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

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:

  • 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.
