I love it when I see something a little different and realize I already have everything on-hand to make it:@) That was the case with this
Apple and Marshmallow Salad. This is cool and creamy, and what I like best is, it calls for mayonnaise, so no need to run to the store for pudding or Cool Whip. I also feel that the mayo tames the sweetness a bit, and makes it a little more of a side dish as opposed to a dessert. But, you can honestly call it either/or,
or both. One son would eat it with dinner, one after dinner. Good stuff folks, and easily cut in half for a smaller batch. My apple was a little sad so I peeled it, the pretty red would add some nice color.
Other sweet apple salads:
3 C apple, 1/2" diced-peeled or not, your call
2 Tblsp fresh lemon juice
1 C celery, sliced
1 C miniature marshmallows
2/3 C mayonnaise-original calls for fat free, I used regular
1/2 C pecans or walnuts, toasted is best
- Mix apples and lemon juice in large bowl.
- Mix in everything else except nuts, store covered in refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Mix in nuts and serve.
Eat well and Have a Happy Day:@)
This sounds better than a Waldorf salad! I like the touch of sweetness to balance out the mayo :)
ReplyDeleteI think it sounds like Waldorf salad, too, but with marshmallows! Yum!
