Apples and cheddar are one of my all time favorite flavor combinations. During the fall and winter months, Steve and I eat this apple and cheddar salad at least twice a week and we never get tired of it.
This salad takes that apple and cheddar combo and adds shaved Brussels, smoked almonds, and a tangy white wine vinaigrette. Every bite is a sweet and sour burst of flavor with plenty of crunch.
I’d be happy with a bowl of this salad all on its own. But, it’s also the perfect partner for these easy Mediterranean chicken salad sandwiches.
Note: Do not mix the almonds into the salad if making it in advance, or if you suspect you’ll have leftovers because the almonds will get soggy.
This salad plays nicely with…
Any soup and sandwich combo but maybe especially Mediterranean Chicken Salad Sandwiches and classic BLTs with a special sauce.
A well cooked steak. This reverse sear method is fool proof.
Roast pork tenderloin with cherry sauce is one of those quick and easy recipes that's both elegant and basic, simple enough for a causal weeknight meal and gorgeous enough for a dinner party.
Pork carnitas: The meat is crispy on the outside, super flavorful, fall-off-the bone tender, and couldn't be easier to prepare.
I too love apples and cheddar together! And using Brussels sprouts raw in salads is highly underrated. Thanks for sharing—this sounds delicious! 💕
Huge YUM on that Brussels sprouts salad. Such a great flavor combination!
