Ingredient Notes
- Cheddar Cheese: The star of the recipe. A block of sharp cheddar creates the perfect savory bite, but you can also use different types of cheeses depending on your preference.
- Salad Greens: Add freshness and a pop of color to every skewer.
- Apples: Crisp, juicy apple slices (cut into cubes) provide sweetness that pairs beautifully with the cheese.
- Balsamic Glaze: Adds a sweet, tangy finish that ties everything together.
- Cocktail or 4-inch Skewers: A 4-inch skewer is the perfect size for serving individual appetizer bites.
Cheddar Apple Salad Skewers
- Cut the cheddar cheese into 1-inch cheese cubes. Core and cube the apples. If making ahead, toss the apples with a little lemon juice to keep them from browning.
- Thread one piece of cheese onto each skewer. Fold a small handful of salad greens into a compact bundle and slide it onto the skewer. Add one apple cube.
- Arrange the finished skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
