Sneaky Apple Onion Salad
Ingredients
Apples, fresh, 1 medium (2-3/4" dia) (I prefer Gala apples; just make sure it's sweet -- don't use a Granny Smith for this)
Onions, raw, 1 medium (2-1/2" dia) (I prefer vidalias)
Red Ripe Tomatoes, 1/2 cup, rough chopped (grape tomatoes are good)
Balsamic Vinegar, 2 tbsp
Cilantro, raw, 2 tbsp (rough chopped or torn)
Cumin seed, 2 tsp

Rough chop the vegetables and fruit and add them to a container. Add the spices and the vinegar. Cover the bowl tightly and shake vigorously.
Makes 8 servings if you're eating it as a relish. You could eat it as a regular salad, too.
Hint: it gets better the longer it marinates, so the second day is better than the first.
Number of Servings: 8 (about 1/2 cup)
