Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large crisp apples (like Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 large carrot
- 1 cup red cabbage
- 1 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly, then core and cut them into thin slices. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the apple slices to prevent browning and toss them gently.
Chop the celery stalks into thin slices and add them to the bowl with the apples.
Dice the red bell pepper, making sure to remove the seeds and core, then add it to the mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrot into thin shreds, or alternatively use a julienne peeler, and combine it with the other ingredients in the bowl.
Thinly slice the red cabbage into shreds and add it to the bowl.
Roughly chop the walnuts and freshly chop the parsley, then add both to the salad mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined and evenly coated.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour if preferred. Enjoy this crisp and vibrant salad as a light meal or side dish.
