Bobby's Apple Walnut Salad

Today is all about things that'll cure what ails you, and Bobby and I are making some things that really, if you're feeling puny, will make you feel so good

Like our chicken and dumplings, and Bobby's fixing to make us an apple salad, because the doctor said an apple a day will keep him away, right

You got to cure what ails you. I can do an apple, y'all. You've got something that cures what ails you

I've got something that'll help you keep from getting sick. Okay, that's great

You want to help me with it? No. I'm going to finish. So, Sonny Boy, what can I do

Here's what you can do. I'm making the apple salad. And the start for it is I'm going to make like a nice light little dressing

Okay. Light sour cream and low-fat Greek yogurt, like a quarter cup of each

Okay. A little bit of lemon juice, maybe two tablespoons. Okay. While y'all was gone, I did not spank Bobby

That's because you can't. He apologized to me and he said, Mama, you raised me so good

and you were so kind. Here's what really happened. Isn't that what you said

Here's what really happened. She tried and she couldn't do it. I defended myself. All right, if you would toast those walnuts for me

I remember that day I went to get y'all with a paddle and y'all took it out of my hands

Oh, my God. That was the day it was over. That's because that was a giant oak paddle. You got me with it a few times

and then I just learned I didn't want it no more. So I had to learn how to keep you from doing it

They snatched my paddle out of my hands. My hands got quick. And they ran with it

And I just got so tickled. I said, oh, to heck with it. You're getting me with that lemon juice, son

How many nuts do you... I don't know. Maybe a quarter cup, half cup

Just a bunch of them. Okay, so... And I am going to add to this one and a half teaspoons of a mild curry powder

Okay. Whisk whisk whisk All right So I just going to toast those up And by toasting those y they going to really bring out the nutty flavor I see you got some dried cranberries

Cranberries? I adore those. There's a little pinch of salt in there. What we're going to do is create a really nice fresh, kind of like a summer salad

I'm just going to continue to work a little bit on this parsley. Those dumplings I got, they ripe pretty, y'all

I don't know if parsley will make them any prettier, but we're going to try

What we're looking at here is we've got celery, apples, walnuts, cranberries, low-fat Greek yogurt

This is really, really good for you. You've got proteins in the nuts

They're heart-healthy. The apples are full of fiber. We're going to put this over a bed of baby arugula

So this is a really nice salad. I adore arugula, Bobby. I do, too, and it's like the best for you, too

This is like your daily dose of vitamins. I'm adding to this about a quarter cup of dried cranberries

Are your nuts toasted? Yes. Bring your nuts over here. Wow. Look at this

Yum. just looks so good, Bobby. Yes, it does. All right, so what do you say

I don't know what to try first. Well, I know what I'm going to try first. Mmm

Oh, my God. Oh, that arugula. Funny, you went for the apple salad

I went for the soup. Mmm. Ooh. Those walnuts were still warm

But I don't think it's as good as this. I love the curry with the arugula

Almost makes me wish I was sick
