Today, let's gather the ingredients for an autumn salad.
We made this fruity salad for a couple of gatherings in September. It was the perfect September salad with its seasonal apples and grapes. But I think we'll bring it into October...at least one more time. It is a pleasant blend of tart and sweet fruit with a savory twist.
APPLE · GRAPE · CELERY SALAD
original recipe from Everyday Food magazine, September 2007
1/4 cup chopped pecans
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
coarse salt and ground pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until lightly browned (about 4 minutes).
In a large bowl, combine celery, apples, grapes, pecans, vinegar, and oil.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with celery leaves, if desired.
This sounds super simple and a great way to use the abundance of apples I have now
ReplyDeleteIt sounds delicious and I really like the absence of mayonnaise or a creamy dressing. These sounds light and fresh to make the most of the apples.
ReplyDeleteAh, that looks so good and refreshing! I don't like creamy dressings of any kind, so this is something I'd really like!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really simple and tasty!
