Apple and Orange Salad a refreshing salad super healthy and perfect for any time of the year!

Apple and Orange Salad a refreshing salad super healthy and perfect for any time of the year!
How about another refreshing salad for the summer, that will surely help us stay trim and looking good in those shorts. That’s right, you heard it, an apple and orange salad with raisins and pecans! Don’t knock it till you try it, it’s delicious, the sweetness from the raisins and the crunchiness from the pecans is what I think makes it special.

My husband’s friend gave my husband a list of salad recipes and I decided to go through them all and try them all out. This was the first one on the list and it turned out excellent. Although we had it for dinner, I don’t know if I would recommend this for a main course, but definitely a great lunch salad.

The apple and orange salad was extremely easy to make. In a large bowl whisk the red wine vinegar, orange juice and olive oil together. Add the raisins and let them soak in the dressing until we’re done cleaning the orange and apples.

Next you need to peel an orange and cut it in small pieces. The recipe only called for one orange, but I think 2 oranges would have been better, more of a citrus flavor.

Peeled and chopped oranges

You’ll need about 4 apples, it works best if you have different apples, green ones and red ones, it just makes for prettier colors. Core them and cut those in small pieces as well, equal to the orange pieces. I love to use my OXO Good Grips Apple Corer and DividerSalad Tongs) for this, it just makes things so much easier.

Red and green chopped apples.

Add the oranges and apples to the bowl with raisins and add about 2/3 of a cup of roughly chopped pecans to the salad.

Add some salt and pepper to taste, toss everything together and voila! You’ve got yourself an awesome super healthy salad. You can’t go wrong with this! Enjoy it and don’t feel guilty eating it, nothing to feel guilty about.

Woke up this morning, wanted a mandarin orange for breakfast, then decided i’d make a salad with the orange. Looked up Orange Salad and up popped this recipe. I have severe osteoarthritis which affects my hands, so it took me longer than 15 minutes to make. It was so worth my time! This is a wonderful recipe – very well seasoned and the red wine vinegar is perfect. A hint for cutting an orange into sections: peel the orange, lay it on its side on a cutting board and cut it in half. Turn the cut side up and the sections come apart very easily. I didn’t have an orange to squeeze for fresh juice so used a tablespoon of frozen orange juice and it worked just fine. This is a really, really good recipe. It should be put back on your website.
