Swiss Apple Pasta Salad
When Granny Smith apples are used, you get a tart and sweet contrasting taste which makes this a very delicious pasta salad.
- 1 lb rotini pasta cooked and cooled
- 3 apples cored and sliced into bite-size pieces
- 3 slices Swiss cheese cut into 1/4 inch x 2 inch strips
- 1/2 cup raisins soaked for 2 minutes in a few drops of warm water, then drained
- 1 cup oil
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 Tbsp Grey Poupon mustard
- salt to taste
- 2 Tbsp poppy seeds
In a bowl, combine oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and poppy seeds. Using a mixer, beat the dressing very well.
Place apples into a large serving bowl and immediately stir in dressing. This will help keep apples from turning brown. Add Swiss cheese, raisins, and well drained pasta. Mix thoroughly. Cover and chill well before serving. Makes 8-10 servings. Enjoy!
