Fresh apples meet zesty oranges in this lively salad that’s a dance of flavors. The tang of red wine vinegar complements the sweet burst of raisins and fresh orange juice, while the crunchy pecans add a savory touch. It’s a symphony of taste and texture that’s bound to impress.
Olive oil: Provides a smooth base for the dressing and complements the fresh fruit flavors. Substitute with avocado oil for a milder taste. Red wine vinegar: Gives a tangy kick to the dressing. Apple cider vinegar can be an alternative. Orange juice: Adds a citrusy freshness. Freshly squeezed is best, but store-bought can work in a pinch. Raisins: Give a sweet bite and texture. Dried cranberries can be a tangier substitute. Orange: Offers a citrusy zest. Clementines can also be used. Apples: The main crunchy component. Choose a variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp for best results. Pecans/Walnuts: Provide a nutty crunch. Almonds or cashews can also be used. Salt and pepper: For seasoning. Adjust to personal taste.
Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, and freshly squeezed orange juice in a large bowl, then stir in the raisins. After peeling and dicing the orange and coring and chopping the apples, add them to the bowl along with roughly chopped pecans. Season with salt and pepper, toss everything well to ensure the fruits are well-coated with the dressing, and serve your refreshing Apple Orange Salad immediately.
