This week I'm participating in Saturday Salad over at Katie's place. Who doesn't need a good Summer Salad recipe, right?? Right. So - here ya go. I discovered this one last summer and it is DELISH, even if it does sound a little odd.
Swiss Apple Pasta Salad
When Granny Smith Apples are used, you get a tart and sweet contrasting taste which makes it a tangy pasta salad...
1 pound rotini, cooked
3 apples cored and sliced into bite sized pieces
3 slices Swiss cheese, 1/4 inch by 2 inch strips
1/2 cup raisins (Golden are best) soked for 2 minutes in a few drops of warm water
Dressing:
1 cup oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup honey
2 Tablespoons Grey Poupon
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons Poppy Seeds (I always forget to buy these so have never used them)
In a bowl beat the dressing with a mixer real well. Pour over the top of the other ingredients and toss. Refrigerate and serve cold.
Enjoy!

I'm definitely trying this recipe...sounds delish! :-9 And, like Mimi, I'll probably be the only one eating it, too. Who cares, indeed...more for me. Maybe Mimi and I should get together!
Hey, have you found that any particular apple works the best? Tart? Sweet? Lemme know. Thanks!

Sounds really yummy! I'll start thinking of a creative way to bribe my husband and child to eat it with me...oh heck what am I saying, I'll just blackmail them!!
That is an interesting sounding combo, but one I would like to try! Thanks for joining Saturday Salads this week. I added your link to my post...stinkin' Mr. Linky this week...
