This salad is a timeless classic that stands out for its simplicity and elegance. The balance between the tartness of the apple, the crunchy touch of the walnuts, and the freshness of the green sprouts makes it a versatile option for any occasion. To enhance the natural sweetness of the ingredients and balance the dressing without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt 0%.

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
-
Vegetable base: Wash and dry the tender sprouts well. Place them in a large salad bowl, creating an airy base.
-
Apple preparation: Wash the apple and, without peeling it (to preserve the fiber and color), cut it into thin slices or matchsticks. A professional trick: drizzle the pieces with a few drops of lemon juice so they don't oxidize.
-
The crunchy touch: Break the walnuts apart by hand so they remain in irregular pieces. If you like celery, cut it into very thin slices.
-
Vinaigrette emulsion: In a small jar, mix the olive oil, cider vinegar, honey, and a pinch of white pepper. Add a generous amount of Bonsalt 0% to round out the flavor. Shake vigorously until the mixture emulsifies.
-
Assembly: Distribute the apple, walnuts, celery, and raisins over the bed of sprouts.
-
Serving: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving to prevent the sprouts from losing their crunchy texture.
