Walnut and apple salad

By

Walnut-and-apple-salad-recipe-salads

This salad is extremely easy to make and yet so delicious and fulfilling! Walnuts are very nutritious. In combination with apples and lettuce they can provide a light meal. The idea for preparing this salad came during a guest night and I wanted to use some fresh and juicy apples that where available at home. You can enjoy this salad as a meal or as a side. Feel free to add any other type of nut you like. It is also very tasty with pears instead of apples.

WINE SUGGESTION

There’s a popular saying that “red wine goes with meat and white wine goes with fish, or white meats”. Although this may be generic, what happens when you take a focus on vegetables; Grapes, just like vegetables, come from Mother Earth and one is made for the other. We just have to take in consideration Fat, acidity, body, sweetness, tartness, and flavor. The key component to the perfect pairing is simply matching the food’s qualities with the wine’s characteristics and relying on what tastes good to you. Therefore a winning combination for this wonderful recipe unoaked Chardonnay with crunchy acidity, minerals, and slight sweetness cuts through the spiciness and tangos with the coconut sauce and the vegetables.
