Healthy Fuji Apple Salad Recipe

by Callie England

Fuji apple salad is delicious and great for lunch or dinner. If you are concerned about the preservatives at a restaurant or a grocery store, then you can make your own preservative-free raw sour cream as shown below.

Dressing

• .3 C raw sour Cream (see below)
• .25 C organic apple juice concentrate (cascadian farms in the freezer section)
• .25 tsp dijion mustard

Whisk all ingredients together. Set aside.

Raw Sour Cream

• 1 C soaked cashews
• 1 C filtered water
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar (or, coconut vinegar)
• sea salt

In a high-speed blender, blend all ingredients until smooth.

Assembly

• Spring salad mix
• 1 cippolini onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 C organic apple chips (I buy the Bare Fruit brand – awesome!)
• 2 T chopped pecans
• .75 C slice cherry tomatoes

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Slowly add dressing and mix well.

I normally make a large batch of raw sour cream and then make multiple dressings, dips and/or sauces out of one batch. What I don’t use, I freeze!
