5 from 4 reviews

This apple manchego salad is a stunner! Matchsticks of apple and cheese tossed with olive oil make for an unexpected sweet and savory apple salad recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 firm tart apples (Pink lady, Jonathan, honey crisp or Granny Smith)
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 4 ounces Manchego cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced chives
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pinches kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Slice the apples into matchsticks (slice them into slices, then lay the slice down and cut into thin long rectangles). Toss the apples with the lemon juice.
  2. Cut the cheese into matchsticks.
  3. Toss the apples and cheese with the chives, olive oil, and kosher salt. Serve immediately; make ahead up to 1 hour. Leftovers store for up to 3 days; the apples soften over time.
