Summer Apple Salad will not leave you feeling unfulfilled. The surprising tang of the buttermilk is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the fruit.
Here are my tips for making Summer Apple Salad: The recipe calls for 2/3 cup buttermilk. There is no need to run to the store. You can turn your 2% milk in 5 min. 1 tbs of white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. 5 min later you have a cup of buttermilk!
You can toast the pecans to deepen the flavor if you choose. Also, think about changing the nuts up and use walnuts.
