Apple-Grape Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
Fast and fresh, this crunchy fruit salad tastes as good as it looks. With just the right amount of sweet and tart going on, this Apple-Grape Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette makes a great accompaniment to just about anything you can think of. Or, enjoy it solo – it’s every bit as great tasting on its own as well. Thin slices of Granny Smith apples, combined with plump and juicy seedless red grapes, are tossed about in a flavorful vinaigrette. The dressing is made up of white vinegar, honey, and some fresh orange zest and juice. This little beauty is crowned with a splattering of toasted walnuts, befitting a dessert suitable for royalty.
