Eplasalat

Apple salad

I love it when things are put together differently than I was used to. This is a typical Icelandic recipe for an apple and grape salad with cream and sour cream dressing, which is often served here in Iceland as a side dish to hearty meat dishes, especially as a side dish for grilling.

However, my children were a bit confused by the combination; they found the salad very tasty, but wanted to eat it for dessert.

Ingredients

2 green apples

250 g green grapes

200 ml whipping cream

1 Tbsp sugar

100 g sour cream

1 tsp lemon juice

Preparation

Wash, peel, quarter and core the apples. Then cut the pieces into small cubes.

Wash and halve the grapes.

In a large bowl, mix the apple pieces with the halved grapes.

Beat the cream with the sugar until stiff.

Then carefully stir in the sour cream and lemon juice.

Add the cream mixture to the apple pieces and the halved grapes...

...and mix everything thoroughly. Then serve the salad. (If possible, don't let it sit for too long, otherwise the cream mixture will become relatively solid in the refrigerator.)
