Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups red seedless grapes, halved
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Begin by washing the red seedless grapes thoroughly under cold running water. Once cleaned, pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the grapes in half. Place the halved grapes in a large mixing bowl.
- Next, chop the walnuts into smaller pieces. You can do this by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin or a heavy pan to crush them, or by using a knife. Add the chopped walnuts to the bowl with the grapes.
- Crumbled feta cheese can be added directly to the bowl. If you prefer larger chunks, you can break the feta into pieces with your hands or a fork.
- Wash the fresh mint leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Stack the leaves, roll them up tightly, and slice them into thin strips (this technique is called chiffonade). Add the chopped mint to the bowl with the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, combine the honey and lemon juice. Whisk them together until well blended. This will create a sweet and tangy dressing for the salad.
- Pour the honey and lemon juice mixture over the grape salad ingredients in the mixing bowl. Gently toss everything together using a spatula or large spoon until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Once combined, taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more honey for sweetness or a bit more lemon juice for acidity, depending on your preference.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual bowls. Garnish with a few additional mint leaves on top for a fresh presentation.
- Serve the Red Holiday Seedless Grape Salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors. Enjoy your refreshing and festive salad!
Tips
- Choose the freshest, most plump red seedless grapes for the best flavor and texture.
- Chill your ingredients beforehand to keep the salad crisp and refreshing.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the walnuts before chopping to enhance their nutty profile.
- Use fresh mint leaves for the most vibrant taste - dried herbs won't give the same bright flavor.
- Make the salad just before serving to prevent the grapes from getting soggy.
- If preparing in advance, keep the dressing separate and add just before serving to maintain the salad's crispness.
- For a festive presentation, serve in a clear glass bowl to showcase the beautiful colors and layers.
