Questions

Is there a substitute for Dijon mustard in Cheddar and Apple Salad?

The entry for Cheddar and Apple Salad calls for 2 tsp Dijon mustard. In its place: Whole-grain or yellow mustard with a few drops of white wine vinegar. Yellow is milder, so use a little more.

Can I make Cheddar and Apple Salad dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (1 cup sharp English cheddar cheese, cubed) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free salad collection instead.

Is Cheddar and Apple Salad keto-friendly?

A serving of Cheddar and Apple Salad carries 16 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of it fiber. Against a strict 20 g keto day that is 80 percent of the budget; against a moderate 100 g low-carb day it is 16 percent.

Does Cheddar and Apple Salad contain tree nuts?

Yes: 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped. The full allergen list for this entry is dairy and tree nuts. Where the nuts are a garnish or a texture, toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds stand in. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How do I store and reheat Cheddar and Apple Salad?

Dressed, it is best the day it is made, so keep the dressing apart and toss Cheddar and Apple Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. Store the walnuts at room temperature so it stays crisp. It does not freeze.
