Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 apples such as Granny Smith, Gala, or Fuji, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 ounces baby spinach
2 large heads of Belgian endive, thinly sliced crosswise
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted (see page 250)

Pomegranate Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pomegranate Vinaigrette
3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey, or more to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
(makes about 1 cup)

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples with different textures and flavors. A good combination is Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji apples.
  • Cut the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the apples into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Don't overcook the apples: They should be tender but still have a bit of crunch. Cook them for about 5 minutes, or until they are just starting to soften.
  • Add the nuts and cranberries at the end: This will prevent them from getting overcooked.
  • Use a light dressing: A vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good option. Don't use a heavy dressing, or it will overpower the flavors of the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

This chopped apple salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or light lunch. It's packed with fresh apples, crunchy nuts, and tart cranberries. The light dressing adds a touch of flavor without overpowering the other ingredients. This salad is also a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.
