Taffy Apple Salad

Taffy Apple Salad | theinspiredparent.com

Continuing our salad week, we’re hitting the sweet side with today’s recipe.

We’ve tried many versions of Taffy Apple Salad over the years as we searched for one with a great punch of caramel flavor, a nice mix of sweet & salty, one that travels well and is people-pleaser.

After tweaking things a bit, the ratios in this recipe gave us what we’re looking for & this delightful Taffy Apple Salad is the one we’ve stuck with for a few years now.

We love using Spanish peanuts — they’re pretty & we prefer the larger pieces of peanutty goodness — but if you prefer smaller bits, using salted, chopped peanuts would work, too.

Regarding the apples, we like adding tart & sweet in the mix to keep things balanced. It’s fun to change-up the varieties to see what you prefer the most.

Enjoy!

Red Cabbage & Apple Slaw

It’s been a spring salad week at our house — that always seems to happen this time of year — the fresh, crisp ingredients come out and we start moving away from soups & stews and eating a bit on the lighter side.

This simple slaw-style salad is quite the dazzler — vibrant red cabbage paired with green apples & julienned orange zest and it definitely has the wow factor on your plate. Super tasty, too!
