I made this fruit salad to enjoy with a glass of wine. Adding homemade pineapple vinegar made it incredibly zesty and sweet! It’s super simple to make. Let’s create this delightful salad!
Salad Ingredients- 1/2 apple
- 1/2 carrot
- 1 tangerine or mandarin orange
- Assorted nuts, to taste
- Dried cranberries, a small amount
Zesty Pineapple Dressing- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 Tbsp pineapple vinegar (homemade preferred)
- A pinch of minced garlic (about 1/2 tsp)
- A pinch of black pepper
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of dried parsley flakes (for garnish)
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 Tbsp pineapple vinegar (homemade preferred)
- A pinch of minced garlic (about 1/2 tsp)
- A pinch of black pepper
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of dried parsley flakes (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the apple, remove the core, and dice it into about 1cm cubes. Dice the carrot into similar-sized pieces. Peel the tangerine and segment it. Prepare the dried cranberries and assorted nuts. If the nuts are too large, lightly crush them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious dressing! In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, pineapple vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk with a fork or small whisk until well combined. Add the dried parsley flakes for an extra touch of aroma.
Step 3
Prepare a large salad bowl. Add the diced apple, carrot, and tangerine segments. Toss in the dried cranberries and assorted nuts. Gently mix everything together to avoid bruising the fruits.
Step 4
Finally, drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad. Gently toss the salad or use a spatula to mix, ensuring all ingredients are lightly coated with the dressing. This makes every bite flavorful. Serve immediately in a nice dish – it’s perfect as an appetizer with wine or a light dessert!
