    8 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup yellow and/or brown mustard seeds
2 tablespoons honey
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more
2 large apples (such as Pink Lady or Gala), cored, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup parsley leaves with tender stems
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Toast mustard seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat until they begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Add honey, 3/4 cup vinegar, and 1 Tbsp. salt. Bring to a simmer, swirling pan occasionally, and cook until liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 5 minutes. Let cool.

    Step 2

    Toss apples in a small bowl with parsley, chives, oil, 2 Tbsp. seasoned mustard seeds, and remaining 2 Tbsp. vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Serve apple salad with extra mustard seeds alongside.
