Apple Salad Recipes: Apple Walnut Salad Recipe or Apple Chicken Salad RecipeApple salad recipes combine the fresh crisp flavor and texture of the apple with the great flavor of celery, carrots, salad greens and many other fruits and vegetables. When trying to decide how to select apples for apple salad recipes, it is a matter of personal preference for the most part. I like crispy apples when serving raw as in salads. Although tart or sour apples are generally recommended for cooking, there are some salads like spinach apple salad that I prefer to use these in over the sweeter varieties. Other salad recipes like the Waldorf salad recipe I like a sweeter variety like Red Delicious.
The perfect apple for using in the raw form blends sweetness, tartness, astringency and crispness; this is taste. Because taste is so subjective and because apple varieties vary so much it is a good idea to learn as much as you can about the ones available to you in your area. Experiment with the different tastes and textures and decide for yourself which ones you prefer for various recipes.
