Apple and Cheese Salad

"Adapted from a recipe I found on the UKTV FOOD website. This is a great lunch box alternative to sandwiches, and one that children could easily make for themselves. Except perhaps mixing the yoghurt with the cinnamon and honey. Or you could enjoy this as light meal or as a side-salad. I'd suggest Granny Smiths or Fuji apples. For some reason, Zaar wouldn't allow me to include this information in the ingredients. I left intact - from the original recipe - the virtuous low fat natural yogurt alternative but if you’re more interested in flavour than in being totally virtuous, especially if you've never tried it, use divinely creamy Greek yoghurt and don't forget the cinnamon and honey! Anyway, if you were totally virtuous, you undoubtedly wouldn’t be eating cheese at all!"

  1. Very nice, crunchy and tasty fruit salad.
     
  2. Followed the recipe exactly and there was to much lemon taste, not enough yogurt. It wasn't sweet at all, maybe it would have been better with vanilla or any other flavored yogurt.
     
  3. This was pretty tasty. I used the basic's of this recipe for a side salad. I used mayo instead of yogurt. I also added a pear cranberry conserve dressing (pear cranberry conserve, olive oil and golden balsamic vinegar). I also subbed pecans for walnuts. Since there is seasoning and sweet in the pear cranberry conserve I omitted the honey and cinnamon.
     
  4. I'm not totally sure how to rate this salad, or describe it!! I made it bc it looks so good. I stuck pretty closely to the recipe. It was good, totally different than anything I've ever made or eaten. My 7 yr old son tried it, and wouldnt stop eating it. I only made about one serving, just in case I didnt like it. I had all the ingredients, and often do, so I'm sure I'll make it again. Its pretty healthy too, if you think about it. I added some sliced red grapes too. But maybe bc its I'm 9 months pregnant, and have been craving those a lot lately. All in all, its yummy, and will make again. Thanks bluemoon!

  2. This was great - nice and refreshing. I used a honeycrisp apple, subbed 1/2 C of red grapes for the raisins, mild cheddar and omitted the celery. I also left out the honey as the yogurt I used (Greek) had honey in it. This is a keeper for sure!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
