The sweet and tart tastes of apple and lemon juice blend nicely with the other ingredients in this apple and chicken salad. Walnuts and celery add a little crunch to the texture.

  • 1 large granny smith apple; peeled, cored and diced

Directions

  1. 1. Fill a small pot half full of cold water. Add a pinch of salt and a splash of cooking oil. Place over high heat. When the water reaches a full boil add the pasta and cook for about seven minutes (al dente). Drain in a wire mesh strainer, rinse thoroughly with cold water and let drain completely.
  2. 2. In a large bowl, mix the apple with the lemon juice to prevent browning. Add the orzo, celery, walnuts and chicken; stir gently until well mixed.
  3. 3. Whisk the olive oil and mayonnaise together in a small bowl with a little salt and pepper and pour over the salad. Lift and stir gently to combine. Transfer into small bowls, garnish with the chopped chives and serve.

    Apples come in all shades of reds, greens and yellows but the crabapple is the only apple native to North America. While the pilgrims planted the first non-native apple trees in the U.S., now there are 2,500 varieties grown.
