Cooking Tips

• Choose crisp and slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
• If you don't have Manchego cheese, you can substitute it with another hard cheese like Parmesan or Pecorino.
• To add some extra sweetness, you can sprinkle some dried cranberries or raisins on top of the salad.

Storage and Serving

• Serve the Apple Manchego Salad immediately after tossing to prevent the apples from browning.
• If you need to prepare the salad in advance, keep the dressing separate and toss it just before serving.
• Leftover salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Add fresh apple slices before serving.
