Ingredients to make Apple and Walnut Salad:
- 1 kilogram of yellow apple
- 1 can of peaches in syrup
- ½ cup peach syrup
- 400 grams of sour cream
- 1 can of condensed milk
- 50 grams of pecan nuts (to taste)
- 50 grams of raisins (optional)
How to make Apple Walnut Salad:
To start the apple and walnut salad recipe, prepare the container where you will make the salad. Make sure it’s big and wide. In it, pour the half cup of peach syrup, sour cream and condensed milk and mix until everything is integrated.
Chop the peaches in syrup into small squares. If you don’t like peach, you can substitute it with some other fruit in syrup, such as pineapple, or even add both fruits, since the apple and walnut salad will be equally delicious. Put the cut peaches in the cream container and mix.
Peel the apple and chop it into cubes similar in size to the peaches, add it to the cream container and mix.
Tip: we recommend peeling and chopping each apple one by one to prevent them from starting to oxidize.
When you have chopped the whole apple, mix very well to integrate it with everything. If you prefer, you can add more fruit such as grapes or pears.
Chop the walnut into medium pieces. The amount of this ingredient is to taste, so you can add more if you want to notice its presence in the salad even more. Add it to the container and mix one last time so that all the ingredients are integrated.
Tip: you can also add raisins to the mix or add it at the time of serving.
And ready! Serve your apple and walnut salad, enjoy it cold and accompany it with more walnuts or raisins. If you are not going to serve it right away or you want the ingredients to finish setting, you can cover the container with plastic wrap and reserve it in the fridge.
