Ros's Waldorf salad includes dried cranberries, which she says add a refreshing tartness to the sweet Honeycrisp apples that she prefers to use as the apple does not brown when cut. Ros's preferred dressing is a yoghurt option, but she says most bokes they like the classic Highlander Condensed Milk dressing!

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped diced apples (with skin on)
• 1½ teaspoons fresh lime juice
• 1/3 cup chopped celery
• ¼ cup dried cranberries or raisins
• ¼ cup (or more) chopped walnuts
• Dressing
• 1/3 cup plain unsweetened yoghurt
• ½ teaspoon grated lemon rind
• 1/8 teaspoon or a good pinch ground nutmeg

Method

1. Toss the apples with the lime juice before adding the celery, cranberries or raisins and walnuts.
2. Mix the dressing ingredients together. Add a touch of cream, if wished. Stir the dressing into the apple mix. Serve cold. Delicious with cold ham, pork or chicken.

Cooks Tips

- While honeycrisp apples will stay white when cut, most apples with oxidise and turn brown. To prevent this, put slices in acidulated water - that's water with lemon juice or a dash of vinegar. - Add half an apple to a cake tin to help keep a cake moist. - Use pears or nashi in place of apples, and lemon juice and rind in place of lime.
