Apple and Onion Salad 2026
A crisp apple and onion salad tossed in a light sweet and tangy dressing with sesame seeds and fresh herbs. Quick to make, fresh in flavor, and perfect when you want an easy no cook side.
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples (thinly sliced)
- 3 purple onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- ½ tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 fresh chili (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Thinly slice the apples and purple onions. Separate the onion rings gently and keep in water for about 10 mins. Then rinse them under cold water to soften their sharp bite. Pat dry before mixing.
- Place the sliced apples and onions in a large mixing bowl. Add black pepper, sesame seeds, sliced chili, honey, salt, white vinegar, and olive oil.
- Toss everything gently until the dressing coats the apples and onions evenly. The salad should look glossy but light.
- Finish with fresh cilantro on top, or use fresh basil if you prefer a milder herbal finish. Your apple and onion salad is ready to serve.
Notes
- Slice apples thin so the salad stays light and easy to eat.
- Rinse and keep in water the onion slices to reduce their strong, sharpness before mixing.
- Toss gently to keep apple slices from breaking.
- Serve fresh for the best crisp texture.
- Garnish with cilantro, or swap with fresh basil for a softer herbal flavor.
