Apple Cheddar Salad

This salad comes together in 10 minutes flat. Thinly sliced red apples tossed with lemon juice stay crisp and bright, while celery adds crunch and mild cheddar cubes make it substantial enough for lunch.

The light mayo dressing barely coats everything, letting the fresh flavors shine through. A crack of black pepper gives it just enough edge.

Pile it on lettuce leaves and you’ve got a side dish that works for potlucks, weekday lunches, or alongside soup.

Quick Tips

• Use red apples for the prettiest color
• Cut cheddar into small cubes for even distribution
• Toss apples with lemon juice immediately to prevent browning
• Use light mayo to keep the dressing from being too heavy
