Quick Bites - Apple Salad with Candied Pecans

Hello everyone and welcome back to another quick bite! In today's episode I'm breaking down a recipe for an apple salad with candied pecans- a wonderfully creamy and dreamy fruity bite with a nice light pecan crunch. Just perfect! Thank you so much for listening, and thank you so much for coming on this journey with me.

 

Featured Recipes for this Episode

1 c plain Greek Yogurt (whole milk)
2 c red seedless grapes
1 c celery
2 c chopped apples, your preference
1/2 c candied pecans
1/2 T champagne vinegar
Zest of one lemon
1/2 T honey
1 t black pepper
1/2 t salt

Chop all your ingredients to the same size- remember you want a consistent bite here! Also you'll want to chop this up relatively small, maybe about the size of raisins (which you can also substitute for grapes).
Combine everything into a bowl and stir it together so everything is well-coated and serve immediately.

Candied Pecan Recipe from Episode 17:

4 c pecans, shelled and halved
1/2 c light brown sugar
1 T cinnamon
1 egg white
1 t vanilla extract
1 T water

Preheat the oven to 300°.
Begin by combining your egg white, vanilla, and water in a bowl. Whip these into a meringue with a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form.
Add your pecans and toss them gently until well-coated.
In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon and brown sugar and then add this to the pecans, again tossing them to gently coat them.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and layer your pecans in a single layer.
Bake for 40 minutes at 300°. At 20 minutes, stir them around. 
Allow to cool and then store in an air-tight container.

Yield: 4 cups.
