　　A crunchy, refreshing salad perfect for any gathering. Pears can be used in place of apples—either choice is delicious.

　　

Ingredients

6 servings

　　

For the salad:

4 red apples, sliced into thin matchsticks, (like Fuji or Gala)

　　Juice of half a lemon

　　⅓ cup sliced almonds

　　1 medium cucumber, chopped

　　½ ounce fresh mint, finely chopped

　　6 ounces pea shoots, or fresh chopped spinach

　　2 ounces alfalfa sprouts

　　

For the lemon dressing:

1 cup Hellmann’s® Carefully Crafted Dressing and Sandwich Spread

　　1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus zest

　　3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

　　¼ teaspoon salt

　　

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the lemon dressing ingredients and set aside.

　　

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine apples and lemon—this will prevent the apples from turning brown. Add the chopped mint, sliced almonds, cucumber, and half the lemon dressing. Combine.

　　

Step 3

Arrange the pea shoots in the bottom of 6 small serving bowls. Divide the apple mixture among the 6 bowls and place over the pea shoots. Top with alfalfa sprouts and extra dressing if desired.
