Ingredients

Dressing Ingredients:

4 T lime juice
3 t fresh or frozen ginger, grated
4 t sugar
2 t fish sauce (can substitute soy sauce)
2 t water
1/8 tsp hot chipotle chile powder (or your favorite chile or hot spice to taste)

Salad Ingredients:

1 large sweet apple, unpeeled (about 10 or 11 oz before coring)
2 oz green onion, red onion. shallot or other onion, thinly sliced
4 celery stalks, finely chopped
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, whole, halved, crushed or finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

Mix together the dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
Core the apple and chop into fairly small pieces. (Can do matchstick shape if you wish.) Immediately stir into the dressing. This will prevent the apple from turning brown.
Add the onion and celery and toss everything together.
Let sit for at least 10 minutes. An hour is even better.
Sprinkle with the peanuts and serve.
