Green apple salad tastes slightly tart, slightly sweet and slightly hot, a delightful combination. More importantly with a crisp bite to it, this salad ends up being a side dish in itself. —Annada Rathi

Ingredients
-
1
medium Granny Smith Apple grated
-
1 tablespoon
powder of roasted peanuts
-
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
-
1 dash
turmeric
-
1
thai chile pepper diced fine (optional)
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt
-
1 teaspoon
lime juice
-
1/2 teaspoon
black/yellow mustard seeds
Directions
-
Squeeze out liquid from grated Granny Smith apple. No need to peel the apple skin as the flecks of skin will provide nice color contrast to the apple flesh.
-
In a bowl mix the grated apple, peanut powder, lime juice and salt. If you cannot have peanuts, substitute with same proportion of almond powder. No need to toast almonds before use.
-
In a small pan heat oil. Add mustard seeds and cover the pan with a lid as mustard seeds will start popping. Once the popping stops, add turmeric and chile pieces and turn the heat off. Pour this seasoned oil over the apple mixture.
-
Apart from providing a rich golden color to the salad, the seasoned oil brings all the ingredients to a homogeneous whole.
-
Make this salad right before eating.
To some people's frustration, I like to talk about food before cooking, while cooking, while eating and of course after eating.
