Apple Cherry Salad
Cherries and apples are temperate, low glycemic fruits that
everyone can enjoy. This salad also provides a hearty serving of essential
fatty acids in the walnuts and their oil. You can enjoy this little salad
and feel virtuous at the same time!
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, sugar free if possible*
1 tablespoon walnut oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon agave syrup (or 1 packet Splenda)
2 large apples (about 3 cups diced)
¼ cup dried cherries, no sugar added
½ cup walnuts
¼ cup freshly grated (or dried) unsweetened coconut
In a cup or a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, walnut oil, white wine
vinegar and sweetener, beating the mixture together with a fork or small
whisk. If using dried coconut, rather than fresh, add the coconut at this
time so that it can absorb moisture from the dressing. Refrigerate the
dressing until you are ready to use it.
Peel, core, and dice the apples. Place them in a medium bowl. Add the
dried cherries, nuts, and coconut. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients
and toss them together to coat the fruit. Place in a pretty serving dish
and refrigerate the salad until ready to serve.
