Method
To prepare this delicious salad with apples, follow the steps carefully and make sure to use quality ingredients for the best result.
Tart apples, like the green apple or Granny Smith, are ideal for this recipe because they provide a pleasant flavor contrast with the green salad.
Start by washing the apples well and slicing them thinly.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, arugula, crumbled walnuts, and grated cheese.
Dress the salad with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a touch of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix all the ingredients well to evenly distribute the dressing.
Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for a few minutes, so it flavors and cools slightly. Before serving, finish with a sprinkle of walnuts and grated cheese to taste.
Your salad with apples is ready!
Tips for Plating
To add an extra touch of flavor to the salad with apples, you can dress with balsamic vinegar or a honey mustard dressing. You can also add toasted sunflower seeds, pecans, or cheese flakes.
Wine Pairing:
To best accompany the salad with apples, a fresh and fruity white wine like a young Chardonnay or a Sauvignon Blanc are excellent choices. These wines will perfectly complement the freshness and crunchiness of your salad.
