Dutch Apple and Cheese Salad
Indulge in a taste of The Netherlands with this Dutch Apple and Cheese Salad. This delightful blend of sweet and savory elements promises a sensory feast. Crisp, juicy apples mingle with creamy cheddar cheese, while the crunch of walnuts provides a pleasing contrast. A tangy dressing of mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a hint of sugar brings all these flavors together, served on a bed of fresh lettuce. A staple at Dutch family gatherings, this salad is as rich in cultural history as it is in flavor.
