Dessert - Apple Salad

So what's for dessert today?

Try this - Green apple salad. It is so easy, no cooking is required. Teenage girl should tried this out as green apple is full of vitamin C and anti aging.

I tried this dessert many years ago at my friend's party, it really give you the sense of satisfaction. It was so delicious so I decided to do it at home. But it turn out a failure; it was edible but just less zest. So I consulted my friend the secret recipe behind it. Since then I have been serving people this wonderful dessert whenever I served dinner or lunch.


Some apples are too sweet, some are too sour. I would recommend Granny Smith green apple. It has both sweet and sour flavors just nice for this dessert.

Prepare a bowl of salt water, just 1/2 tsp of salt will do. This will prevent apple from oxidizing (I think this is the word. It turn brown if you leave it without salt water). Peel the skin if you don't like to taste the hardness of the apple skin.


This are peanut candies. Buy the one with sesame seeds (or you can add some roasted sesame seeds later). Don't use ground nuts or roasted peanuts as they wouldn't give you the sweetness of the candy we want.


Grind the candy but don't use machine. The ground peanuts should give you the mixture of some finely crushed and some rough texture.


Next you will need some mayonnaise. If you like it creamy, then you add in more. I normally use 1 tbsp for a bowl of apple.


Scoop up some chilled apple into a bowl, add the mayonnaise, add 1-2 tbsp of ground peanuts. Mix well.

Enjoy!!

Apple's nutrition facts

Apples have been found to reduce the risk of stroke and Type II diabetes and to improve bowel function. It helps prevent the growth of prostate cancer cells (existence of Flavonoids), and the skin of apples seem to inhibit the reproduction of colon cancer cells (existence of phytochemicals).

Two recent studies indicated that eating five apples a week helped lower the risk for respiratory diseases like asthma. Apples also help protect arteries from plaque build up, and eating two apples a day or drinking a 12 ounce glass of apple juice reduced the effects of cholesterol. Also, pectin and other acids in apples help aid digestion.

That’s why apples are great served with rich foods like pork or lamb or duck.

Apples have more nutrients if eaten raw with their skin, but they should be washed thoroughly. Just under that wonderful colored coat lies half of the Vitamin C content of the apple. The skin also has lots of fiber and is the source of the apple’s characteristic fragrance. A raw medium apple (two and a half inches in diameter), eaten with the skin, has only 80 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and is a great source of potassium. It also contains calcium, phosphorus, iron, and Vitamin C and A. The apple is composed of 80-85 percent water, 5 percent protein, and 10-15 percent carbohydrates. It also is sodium free and fat free.
