Danish Apple Salad
2 servings
10 minutes
Danish apple salad is a refreshing dish with a bright combination of sweetness and spiciness typical of Scandinavian cuisine. Apples give the salad natural fruity freshness, while pickled beets add a slight tang and rich color. Horseradish, traditional for northern peoples, makes the taste spicy, while vegetable oil smooths its sharpness. This dish is perfect as a light snack on its own or as an accompaniment to meat and fish dishes. In Denmark, such salads are often served in winter when fresh vegetables are limited and root vegetables retain their juiciness and flavor. The simplicity of the ingredients makes this salad versatile—it can be part of a festive table or everyday diet, surprising with its harmony of flavors.
