Instructions: Best Apple Salad Recipes
Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the apples, bell pepper, red onion and kidney beans. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard and pepper. Pour over the salad, and stir gently to coat.
Friends loved the salad as a side for brats and sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. To serve 8, I combined 2 Gala apples and 1 large Granny Smith, doubling the wine vinegar and mustard with 1 1/2 T honey . I also added 1/3 cup diced celery. This recipe is a keeper!
A good use of whatever veggies and fruits you have on hand. I would not leave out the apples or peppers (I used mini colored peppers and two varieties of apple) I omitted the beans but added a finely cut stalk of celery and an orange the second time I made this. My red onion was a little strong so I plan to substitute scallions next time. Overall, this is a versatile salad and dressing.
Delicious and healthy. My husband couldn't quit eating this salad until it was gone.
Sorry, the flavors here just didn't come together for us. I followed the recipe exactly, but the result tasted like apples and beans. None of us ate it. Two stars because it's healthy, though! Thanks anyway!
I really liked this salad. Although, it's not so kid-friendly, at least with my kids.
This was "unexpected" indeed! I added a stalk of celery I needed to use. I took off one star for it being overly sweet for me: I will use less honey next time. I plan to make this again to serve alongside porkchops.*ETA: This does NOT keep well. Eat the day of! Unfortunately I think eating the leftovers has turned me off from making this again...
Two recommendations:1. Cut the apples into pieces about the same size size as a bean, like in the photo, so when you take a bite, the apple doesn't overwhelm the taste. 2. Double the dressing. This needs a bit more than in the recipe.This is excellent. Such a good, unusual taste. Must be the Dijon mustard.
Interesting mixture. Worth keeping, but couldn't eat this all the time.
Yummy -daughter and I are not too fond of apples - but in this, they actally taste good mixed with everything else. Like the others, I added celery and increased the dressing - next time will double it. Thanks for the recipe!
