Today’s Recipe: Winter Spiced Apple Salad

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s perfect for the chilly winter months. This Winter Spiced Apple Salad is a refreshing and unique dish that combines the crispness of apples with warm, comforting spices. It’s a great way to bring a taste of the season to your table.

Ingredients:

  • 2 red apples, sliced
  • 100g baby spinach
  • 50g pecans, toasted
  • 50g dried cranberries
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Kitchen Tools:

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • skillet
  • knife

To start, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl to create the salad dressing. Set aside. In a skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans until fragrant, then remove from the heat and let them cool.

In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced red apples, baby spinach, toasted pecans, and dried cranberries. Drizzle the salad dressing over the top and toss everything together until well coated.

Serve the Winter Spiced Apple Salad immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors – the sweetness of the apples and cranberries, paired with the warmth of the spices and the crunch of the pecans.

This dish weighs approximately 400g in total and serves 2 people, with each serving weighing around 200g. An estimated calorie count for one serving is 250 calories.

Pro tip: For an extra special touch, try sprinkling some crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese over the top of the salad before serving. The creaminess of the cheese complements the flavors beautifully.

I hope you give this Winter Spiced Apple Salad a try and make it your own with any additional toppings or tweaks you like. Happy cooking!
