Instead of mixing all the veggies and apple together in the mayonnaise, I made the dressing separately adding two drops of Liquid Smoke to the mayo. Used fresh organic veggies from our CSA box including a Red Delicious apple. Substituted manchego cheese for the smoked cheddar, too. The scallions we received last week were extra strong and "spicy" and complemented the other flavors perfectly. Served with: Whole roasted chicken and Recipe #59307, Recipe #126532, and Recipe #305085. We enjoyed all the different flavors going on in this salad, *Parsley*!

This is so tasty. I used smoked gouda cheese, for the low-fat mayonnaise, I used low calorie Miracle Whip (not the same as low-fat mayonnaise). I used only 2 tbs of fat free sour cream. I didn't use parsley. Thanks Parsley. Made for Market tag.

So fresh and delicious! I reduced it for 3 of us, and instead of serving on lettuce, I just served it in little bowls for our mid-morning snack. My apples were Fijis and fairly sweet, but I liked it that way because there was no sugar in the dressing.

I really enjoyed this for lunch today! It was different. I used regular cheddar, but bet it's great with the smoked. Thanks Parsley!
