Ambrosia apples don’t oxidize as quickly as other varieties, making them great for salads. The sweet flavor and crispy texture of Ambrosia apples are a wonderful match to the soft quinoa and aromatic curry vinaigrette. Perfect on a warm spring day as a lunch, this salad is satisfying on its own. It also pairs great with a piece of grilled salmon or chicken for a light dinner.
