Reviews
This is the salad that you make as a change up to making your standard “go to” salads. It is tasty and stands up to the dressing. Use the recommended apples…
I really love this salad. I made for my co-workers and they ate it ham over fist Ha! I replaced the sour cream with greek yogurt, and the dijon with honeycup mustard. Gave it quite the kick!
I love this recipe. such a simple idea but I never thought of pairing leftover ham I had in the fridge with apples in a salad. crisp and fresh tasting. the homemade dressing was delicious and easy too.
I used organic apples, which you should ALWAYS use (especially in recipes that call for raw apples. Non-organic apples are one of the fruits highest in pesticides. This recipe was okay, a little bland – didn’t impress my family but it was okay.
