How to Make Apple Cheese Salad
- Wash and chop 2 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) into bite-sized pieces.
- Gently toss the chopped apples with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped celery to the apples.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and gently combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- Serve the salad chilled in crisp lettuce cups. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters!

Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
