ingredients
- 177.44 ml golden raisin
- 59.14 ml water
- 78.78 ml mayonnaise (you can use reduced-fat mayonnaise...I don't! Hellmann's is my favorite)
- 44.37 ml cider vinegar
- 14.79 ml honey
- 3 granny smith apples, cored and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 gala apples or 3 braeburn apples, cored and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 celery ribs, chopped fine
- 177.44 ml walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
- salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
directions
- Combine the raisins and water in a small bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until the water begins to boil, about 1 minute (of course, you can always pour a 1/4 cup of boiling water over the raisins, too). Let stand until the raisins are soft and the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, and honey in a large bowl. Add the diced apples, chopped celery, toasted and chopped walnuts, and plumped raisins to the bowl and toss until well coated. Refrigerate, covered, for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve. (The salad can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 2 days.).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I recently celebrated my 19th anniversary living in SW Florida. I moved here from Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As much as I miss family back home, I truly love living here - the beaches, the tropical beauty, the people, and the weather (except the hurricanes!). Everyday is just another day in Paradise. I work at the new international airport here in Fort Myers. I have an opportunity to meet many different and interesting people from around the world. I've had an interest in cooking since I was a little boy, following my grandmother around the kitchen. Since I wasn't blessed with any artistic or musical talent, I think cooking was my way of being creative. My passion is my family and friends. My second passion is cooking for them. My favorite way to entertain is informally...brunches, cookouts, and small dinner parties. Just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, some good food and drink, and a little fun are the only rules of the house.</p>
