September is finally here and one activity David and I like doing during this month is to visit our local orchards. Yes, I know… the supermarkets sell apples 🍎 all year round but it’s not the same. I like to encourage the growers by buying directly from them.
When we return home, I like making recipes using different varieties such as Gala, Fuji, Gravenstein, Granny Smith 🍏, etc. It can be Apple Turnovers, Apple Betty, Stuffed Pork Tenderloin, Apple Cinnamon Bread, Apple Cheese Soufflés, and others.
Another one I enjoy making as well is my Spinach Apple Salad! Light, fresh and healthy, this tasty dish is perfect for lunch or as a side dish along with grilled chicken 🐓 or pork. Like most salad recipes, it takes less than 30 minutes to make.
You can use your preferred vinaigrette but I highly suggest you try the one that goes with it 😉. I use the basic as my foundation which is the same ratio of extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and granulated sugar. From there, I add other ingredients according to the salad recipe.
We eat with our eyes first and the last thing I want to see in my Spinach Apple Salad is my produce turning brown due to oxidation. I add some freshly squeezed lemon juice 🍋 to both, my apple and avocado cubes, and gently toss to coat.
An ingredient that I used often until the USA/Canada tariffs were implemented back in February, was Cotija cheese. Depending on where you live, you might not be able to find any so use feta cheese but make sure to rinse it under cold water 💦 to remove the salty brine.
I use raw red onions. Although ideal for salads due to their milder and sweeter flavor, they still can be harsh and strong in taste 😣. To remedy it, I have a great tip that helps to remove it. Click here to find out… How to Remove Bitterness from Onions
After the salad 🥗 is tossed and ready to be enjoyed, I highly recommend shaking the vinaigrette before using it as the oil will more than likely be separated from the other ingredients. Give a good shake-shake-shake and pour it over.
With an amazing combination of ingredients, this Spinach Apple Salad is a tasty recipe to make this fall 🍂. It’s easy to make, healthy and perfect for lunch, a light meal or as a side dish. Go visit your local orchards and make this fabulous salad!
