Apple and Cheese Salad
By: bluemoon downunder
Aug 25, 2008
Adapted from a recipe I found on the UKTV FOOD website. This is a great lunch box alternative to sandwiches, and one that children could easily make for themselves. Except perhaps mixing the yoghurt with the cinnamon and honey. Or you could enjoy this as light meal or as a side-salad. I'd suggest Granny Smiths or Fuji apples. For some reason, Zaar wouldn't allow me to include this information in the ingredients. I left intact - from the original recipe - the virtuous low fat natural yogurt alternative but if you’re more interested in flavour than in being totally virtuous, especially if you've never tried it, use divinely creamy Greek yoghurt and don't forget the cinnamon and honey! Anyway, if you were totally virtuous, you undoubtedly wouldn’t be eating cheese at all!
SERVES 2
Ingredients
- 1 firm juicy eating apple
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 ounce seedless raisin or craisins
- 1 ounce walnuts, roughly chopped
- 2 ounces cheese, of your choice, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt or Greek yogurt
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon honey
Directions
1
Wash, but do not peel the apples, remove the core, quarter and then cut the apples into triangles or cubes, mix at once with the lemon juice.2
Add the celery, raisins or craisins, walnuts and cheese and mix together.3
Flavour the yogurt with a little cinnamon and honey and mix well, and then mix the salad and yogurt together.4
Put the salad in your lunchbox and refrigerate - or serve.

Since the Fuji apples that I had weren't all that large, I used 2 of them along with a bit of raisins AND dried cranberries, a sharp cheddar & the non-fat vanilla yogurt that is usual in my frig ~ It takes longer to explain what I did than it did to actually make this VERY TASTY TREAT! Thanks for your recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Stars Tag Game]

I used a Cortland apple, dry cranberries, low-fat cheddar cheese. And no honey. It was sour. But it was fine for me. I served it with Iceburg lettuce. Thanks Bluemoon. Made for Holiday tag.

This was wonderful! I used cheddar cheese in this and used vanilla yogurt. I had this for breakfast and I was the envy of all at work. Delicious! Made for 1-2-3 Tag.

My favorite combination . . . apples and cheese: blue cheese to be specific. Did not have any greek yogurt so replaced with 2 tablespoon low-fat mayo with a little rice wine vinegar, cinnamon and a tablespoon of honey. Served on bed of romane lettuce with sliced almonds on top. Thanks for sharing . . . ps forgot to mention I used craisins!
