This is a delicious, creamy salad ~ perfect for the summertime. The combination of the creamy dressing with the crunch of the apple and celery makes this salad so appealing. My family enjoys eating this salad with barbequed chicken, cold cuts or falafel and fresh crusty bread, but you can serve it wherever you would serve a regular salad with a creamy dressing or even in place of coleslaw.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 iceberg lettuce
- 2 braeburn apples
- 1 stick / rib of celery
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise – homemade or good quality store bought
- 2 tbsp double cream
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
DIRECTIONS:
- Shred / finely slice the iceberg lettuce.
- Core the braeburn apples and cut into small dice.
- Trim both ends of the celery and cut into fine dice or slices
- In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, the cream and the salt and pepper until thoroughly combined and creamy.
- Add the lettuce, the apple and the celery. Mix well, cover and chill for 1-2 hours before serving.
TIPS:
- If you cannot get hold of braeburn apples, any other crisp apple such as Pink Lady will be fine.
- From time to time, I also like to add a tablepsoon of roughly chopped peanuts and sometimes a tablespoon of raisins.
