APPLE WALNUT SALAD - Glass bowl, wooden spoon, wooden table

I love making simple, wholesome salads for my kids. Whether for a light lunch or a side to a protein for dinner, simple salads are always a winner.

My kids love apples! We all love Granny Smith Apples and Pink Ladies, but really – I buy what is in season and cheapest.

APPLE WALNUT SALAD - Metal spoon, white bowl

After making my Mango Berry Salad, I knew the orange glaze I put on it would be perfect with some apples, so that inspired this salad.

The perk about this salad is that it takes very little time—less than 20 minutes. Using my apple slicer took me about 10 minutes.

Recipe Tips

The only thing with this salad is that you can’t prepare it too much in advance because it will start to brown and soften after a bit and this salad is best served when prepared.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, salad will last 2-3 hours this way and still keep a fresh, crispy texture.
Optional add-ins: mini chocolate chips, dried cranberries, fresh pomengrante seeds.
