Ingredients

2 Ginger Gold apples (Fuji will substitute)
1 Red Delicious apple
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 cup prepared mayonnaise
1 pinch kosher salt
Cracked black pepper
3/4 cup toasted walnuts, crushed
1 cup golden raisins
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 stalks celery, thin bias cut

In a bowl, toss apples with the cider vinegar. Fold in mayonnaise thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in walnuts, raisins, curry powder, celery, mint and red onion. Adjust seasoning. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to incorporate. To serve, arrange 2 leaves of romaine lettuce per plate and spoon salad on top.

Superb
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe to improvise with and an absolute hit with a kaleidoscope of different flavors. I've dried a bunch of different... modifications of this recipe depending on what is the fridge. For those of you who found the curry overpowering as I did, try cutting it to just a 1/2 tps. I've found that works rather well for this dish and/but if you still want the heat try adding a finely chopped deseeded jalapeno. Read more

We made this for several of our Christmas parties and it was a hit at every one of them. A definite change from the usual... tossed salad or jello dish. Different and easy to make. Excellent recipe.Read more
