Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Apples — Choose crisp and slightly tart apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
  • Murcia al Vino cheese — If you can't find Murcia al Vino, you can substitute it with another semi-soft cheese with a tangy flavor, such as Manchego or Feta.

Tips & Tricks

  • For added freshness, chill the apples in the refrigerator before slicing and assembling the salad.
  • Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they turn golden brown for a more intense flavor.
  • Feel free to add some fresh herbs like mint or basil for an extra burst of freshness.

Serve the Ensalada de Manzanas con Murcia al Vino as an appetizer or a light lunch. It pairs well with crusty bread or as a side dish to grilled meats or seafood.

Presentation advice

Arrange the sliced apples and crumbled Murcia al Vino cheese on a large platter, drizzle the dressing over the top, and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or basil for an elegant touch.
