MCDONALD'S FRUIT AND WALNUT SALAD



McDonald's Fruit and Walnut Salad image

McDonald's enlisted Destiny's Child, Venus Williams, and Bob Greene (Oprah's trainer) to kick off its balanced lifestyles campaign in the spring of 2005, starting with this salad and the tagline "Get a fruit buzz." Most of the recipe is no big secret: Two kinds of sliced apples, red seedless grapes, and low-fat vanilla yogurt. But this new product did inspire another way to candy walnuts. It's a quick technique that includes honey and peanut oil, along with some granulated sugar and a little vanilla. Also, you should know that McDonald's has to use a special preservative coating on the apple slices to keep them from turning brown in the ten minutes or so that it takes for sliced apples to turn brown. Copy this recipe at home and you won't have to worry about such things. Source: "Top Secret Recipes Unlocked" by Todd Wilbur.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
2 small Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into 16 slices each
2 small Gala apples, cored and cut into 16 slices each
40 red seedless grapes
3/4 cup Dannon low-fat vanilla yogurt

Steps:

  • Make the candied walnuts by combining the peanut oil, honey, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a medium skillet over medium heat in the order listed. When mixture begins to bubble, add the chopped walnuts and stir constantly until the sugar begins to smoke and/or caramelize. Immediately turn off the heat and keep stirring the nuts so that they do not burn. After a minute of stirring off the heat, pour the nuts out onto a plate. Toss the nuts as they cool so they don't stick together.
  • When the nuts have cooled, build each salad by mixing 8 slices of Granny Smith apple, 8 slices of Gala apple, 10 grapes, 3 tablespoons of yogurt, and 3 tablespoons of candied walnuts. Stir and serve.
  • Makes 4 servings.
