Apples and walnuts taste wonderful together and since fall has finally made its way here I’ve decided to post this.
apples have a wonderful crisp red color, but they can come in so many colors! Golden yellow, crimson red, grassy green, hazed pink, and so many more!
I commonly use red apples, but any delicious crisp apple will taste great although I don’t know how Granny Smith apples will taste. If you use Granny Smith apples I’d advise you make a maple, lemon dressing.
Good Apple types For this salad
although I’d eat any good apple, there are some apples that are better then others.
Fuji. Fuji apples might be small but they pack a lovely mighty crunch!
Honey crisp. Honey crisp apples are huge delicious apples with both yellow and red traces.
Golden delicious. These golden beauties are delicate and have a wonderful golden flavor.
Pink lady. Pink lady apples are a great snack as well as a salad topping. 🍎🍏
Vegan option
farmer cheese is really a healthy cheese! I know some of you are vegan or dairy free do I have this option for you. Leave out the cheese or substitute it for a good vegan cheese.
Gluten free option
use gluten free croutons or leave them out completely. Make sure the rice vinegar is gluten free as well.
