Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples
- 2 medium Red apples (e.g., Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup Toasted walnuts
Instructions
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Cut them into thin slices or small bite-sized cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and color.
Grate the fresh ginger using a fine grater to yield approximately 1 tablespoon. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, olive oil, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the sliced apples and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad.
Roughly chop the toasted walnuts and mix them into the salad for a crunchy element.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or plate, and garnish with a few whole mint leaves for presentation.
Serve immediately or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving for a cool, refreshing experience.
