A favorite winter salad with apples, yogurt and fresh mint that's great for a winter brunch or Christmas morning.
Looking for the recipe for my "signature salad" at Christmas? The recipe has moved, please see Festive Holiday Salad.
Summer fruit salads are effortless. The fruit is so abundant, so fresh, so intoxicating, no embellishment is needed.
Winter fruit salads take more thought. This apple salad has been a favorite for many years, it's often on the menu for my annual cookie swap but I also make it for a light breakfast for Christmas morning.
Orange juice concentrate is one of my "secret pantry ingredients". I keep a small can in the door of the freezer, scooping it out a spoonful at a time for intense orange flavor.
