Apple Salad

Apple salad is a refreshing and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed all year round. Made with crisp, fresh apples, it's frequently tossed in a light vinaigrette to enhance the fruit's natural sweetness while providing a tangy contrast to balance the flavors. Depending on your preference, apple salad can incorporate various other ingredients such as celery, nuts, or dried fruit. By adding lean protein like chicken or tofu, it can be transformed into a delicious main dish. Extremely versatile, apple salad is a healthy addition to any meal, suitable for those who are seeking a fruit-based dish that's both light and fulfilling.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Apple Salad expire?
Apple salad is best enjoyed fresh, preferably within 2 hours of preparation if left at room temperature. If refrigerated, it can last up to 2-3 days. Studies have shown that the nutritional value can decrease after the 2nd day. As for industrially-prepared versions like those you find in the grocery store, follow the expiration date on the package, but remember that once opened, it's best to consume it within 2 days.
How do you tell if Apple Salad is bad?
Any unusually strong smells, changes in color or texture, or presence of mold are clear signs that your apple salad has gone bad. Also, if the apples have turned mushy and overly brown, it's a good indication that it's past its prime and you should probably avoid eating it.
Tips for storing Apple Salad to extend shelf life
• Store your apple salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will prevent it from absorbing other flavors and keep it fresh. • Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the apples before mixing in the rest of the salad. This will reduce browning and prolong the salad's freshness. • If you need to prepare your apple salad in advance, store the cut apples in a bowl of water with a bit of lemon juice and assemble the salad when you're ready to serve. This helps the apples maintain their crisp texture. • Do not freeze apple salad. The high water content in apples means they can become mushy when frozen and thawed.
