APPLE AND CHEESE SALAD



Apple and Cheese Salad image

Adapted from a recipe I found on the UKTV FOOD website. This is a great lunch box alternative to sandwiches, and one that children could easily make for themselves. Except perhaps mixing the yoghurt with the cinnamon and honey. Or you could enjoy this as light meal or as a side-salad. I'd suggest Granny Smiths or Fuji apples. For some reason, Zaar wouldn't allow me to include this information in the ingredients. I left intact - from the original recipe - the virtuous low fat natural yogurt alternative but if you're more interested in flavour than in being totally virtuous, especially if you've never tried it, use divinely creamy Greek yoghurt and don't forget the cinnamon and honey! Anyway, if you were totally virtuous, you undoubtedly wouldn't be eating cheese at all!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: Use firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady apples.
  • Prepare the Apples Properly: Before cooking, peel and core the apples, then cut them into uniform-sized pieces or slices. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the Apples Until Tender: Cook the apples over medium heat until they are tender but still hold their shape. This will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the type of apple and the size of the pieces.
  • Use High-Quality Cottage Cheese: Choose a high-quality, smooth cottage cheese for the best results. Avoid cottage cheese that is watery or has a sour taste.
  • Chill the Salad Before Serving: After assembling the salad, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.

Conclusion:

This quick and easy apple cottage cheese salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish or light lunch.
