Salad Ingredients
- 1 fresh apple
- 7 walnuts
- 1 Tbsp sliced almonds
- 1 slice sliced mozzarella cheese
Tangy Dressing Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp honey
- A pinch of dried basil
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp honey
- A pinch of dried basil
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by making the delicious dressing. In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 2 Tbsp olive oil, and 1 Tbsp honey. Add a pinch of black pepper and a pinch of salt. Whisk everything together until well combined. You’ll have a fresh and flavorful dressing ready in no time.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to prepare the star of our salad: the apple. Wash the apple thoroughly using baking soda to ensure it’s perfectly clean, as we’ll be using the peel. Cut the apple into halves, remove the core, and slice it into bite-sized half-moons. Ensure your apple is firm for the best texture.
Step 3
Next, let’s add the creamy mozzarella cheese. Keep the mozzarella slice in its plastic packaging and carefully cut it into desired pieces or shapes using a knife. Gently peel off the plastic wrap and artfully arrange the cheese pieces on top of the apple slices. Arranging them like flower petals will make the salad visually appealing.
Step 4
To add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor, prepare the walnuts and almonds. Break the walnuts into small, bite-sized pieces with your hands. Sprinkle both the crumbled walnuts and the sliced almonds generously over the salad. Each bite will be enhanced by their satisfying crunch.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to drizzle the dressing you’ve lovingly prepared over the salad. Avoid over-dressing; a light coating is ideal so the fresh flavors of the ingredients can shine through. You can gently toss the salad to coat everything evenly, or simply pour the dressing over the top.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a little dried basil over the salad for an aromatic touch. The fragrant basil will elevate the overall flavor profile, making the salad even more enticing. And there you have it – a refreshing and delicious apple salad, a perfect diet-friendly appetizer! Enjoy your healthy creation!
