Instructions:
-
Pare and Core Apples: Begin by peeling and coring the tart apples, ensuring they are ready for the next step of the recipe.
-
Prepare the Candies: In a saucepan, combine the miniature marshmallows with 2 cups of water, and cook until the candies are fully dissolved, creating a sweet syrupy base for your salad.
-
Simmer with Apples: Once the candies have dissolved, add the prepared apples to the saucepan. Allow them to simmer in the syrup until they reach a tender consistency, making sure to turn them frequently for even cooking.
-
Chill Thoroughly: After simmering, remove the apples from the heat and allow them to chill thoroughly in the syrup, ensuring they absorb the sweet flavors completely.
-
Enhance with Color: To enhance the visual appeal of your salad, turn the apples occasionally in the syrup to ensure they are evenly coated and infused with color.
-
Prepare Dressing: In a separate bowl, blend 1/2 cup of salad dressing or mayonnaise with the remaining ingredients, including celery, raisins, and pecans, to create a creamy and flavorful dressing.
-
Drain Apples: Once thoroughly chilled, drain the apples from the syrup, removing any excess liquid to maintain the salad’s texture and consistency.
-
Assemble Salad: Place the drained apples on a bed of crisp salad greens, arranging them neatly to create an inviting presentation.
-
Top and Serve: To add the finishing touch, stuff the centers of the apples with the prepared dressing mixture and generously drizzle additional dressing over the top for added flavor.
