For a flavorful and attractive side dish, try this refreshing salad. I fix it ahead to give the flavors a chance to blend, which also eliminates last-minute fuss. Family members and guests always tell me how much they enjoy it. - Ruby Williams, Bogalusa, Louisiana Ingredients:
6 large red apples, sliced |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
4 bunches watercress, stems removed |
2 pounds seedless red grapes, separated into small bunches |
2 small red onions, halved and thinly sliced |
honey lemon dressing: |
1/2 cup lemon juice |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
2 to 3 tablespoons honey |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
lemon slices and fresh mint, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, toss apples and lemon juice. Arrange watercress on a large serving platter. Top with the grapes, onions and apples.
