Tips and tricks

No green apples in mytartare!

We often think of using green apples in tartare to add a touch of crunchy and acidity. Since they don't turn brown, they seem like a natural choice. However, there are red apple varieties from Quebec with low susceptibility to oxidation that would make a delicious change. Ambrosia, Honeycrisp and Cortland are great options todiscover!
