How to Make Applesauce Salad

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine the applesauce, mayonnaise, raisins, walnuts, and cinnamon.
  2. Stir in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  3. If serving warm, gently heat the salad in a saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  4. Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with extra walnuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
