(3)

Let the spiralizer do all the work for you and then enjoy a fresh, crisp, crunchy apple salad with a mild vinaigrette dressing that comes together in minutes. You can use whatever apples you like just as long as they're fresh and have a firm texture. To keep the apples crisp, add the vinaigrette dressing right before serving.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon honey, or more to taste

  • 2 unpeeled Granny Smith apples

  • 1 unpeeled Red Delicious apple

  • ½ lime, juiced

  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts

Directions

  1. Whisk olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl to make dressing.

  2. Cut Granny Smith and Red Delicious apples into noodles using a spiralizer fitted with the large shredding blade.

  3. Place apple noodles in a large bowl and toss with lime juice to keep them from turning brown. Pour in dressing; mix gently until salad is combined.

  4. Place pine nuts in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Toast pine nuts, shaking often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle pine nuts over salad.

Cook's Notes:

If you don't have white balsamic vinegar, good substitutes would be rice vinegar or white wine vinegar (you want a mild-flavored vinegar, not cider vinegar).

There are many brands of spiralizers. The chipper (large shredder) blade referred to in this recipe is from the Paderno(R) brand.
