TAFFY APPLE SALAD

This salad is so tasty and different, with a sweet

dressing that has just a hint of tang because there is

vinegar added during cooking. It can be served as

either a dessert or a salad dish--I think it is good

no matter what you call it! Plus it is very easy

to put together and leftovers keep well until

the next day.

If you like taffy apples at your state fair you will love

this salad. We have discovered it is even better if you

let it sit for a few hours before serving because the

peanuts soften up a little...delicious!
