Crisp Yam and Sweet Apple Salad: A Simple Delight
Super Easy Yam and Apple Salad Recipe
Using a generous box of fresh yams from my family’s home in Andong, we’ll create a simple, delicious, light, and healthy yam and apple salad. It’s a perfect way to enjoy a nutritious and refreshing dish with minimal effort.
Yam and Apple Salad Ingredients- A moderate amount of fresh yam (approx. 100g)
- 1/2 fresh apple
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- A pinch of dried parsley flakes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the star ingredients for today’s salad: the fresh yam and a crisp apple. Ensure the yam is thoroughly washed, and you can choose to peel the apple or leave the skin on after washing.
Step 2
Gently peel the washed yam using a vegetable peeler or a knife. Slice the peeled yam into very thin julienne strips, aiming to preserve its crisp texture. (The yam might be a bit sticky to handle; wearing cooking gloves can be helpful.)
Step 3
Arrange the julienned yam attractively on a serving plate or in a bowl. This creates a lovely base and adds a pleasing volume to the salad.
Step 4
Core the apple and slice it into thin julienne strips, similar in thickness to the yam. The apple’s sweet and tart flavor will beautifully complement the mild taste of the yam.
Step 5
Carefully layer the julienned apple strips on top of the arranged yam. Placing them gently will keep the salad looking neat and appealing.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to add a touch of sweetness. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of maple syrup evenly over the entire salad. Feel free to adjust the amount to your preference.
Step 7
Finally, finish the salad with a sprinkle of dried parsley flakes for a touch of fragrance and color. This simple addition enhances both the visual appeal and the overall flavor profile. Your salad is ready!
Step 8
Wasn’t that incredibly easy? Enjoy this wonderfully light and healthy yam and apple salad made with such a simple recipe. It’s perfect as a light snack or a refreshing addition to your meal. Enjoy your delicious creation!
