Chef's Tips
For a richer flavor, lightly sauté the apples in Jersey butter before adding them to the salad.
Add other seasonal Jersey produce, such as sliced pears or roasted butternut squash, for added flavor and texture.
If Jersey Royal potatoes are not available, use other small potatoes. They are best if they are slightly waxy.
Adjust the amount of honey in the vinaigrette to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the apples.
