Ingredients for Green Salad with Apples

The combination of greens in this salad are wondrous! We love using baby spinach, arugula and frisée giving the salad a peppery, slightly tart flavour profile. The greens are also loaded with vitamins and minerals, making this salad a powerhouse of good nutrition.

We included walnuts because they too are loaded with protein and fiber, and are an excellent source of Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), which reputedly reduces the risk of heart disease. Wow! And here we were using them in this salad solely because we loved the flavour. Who knew?

Honeycrisp Apples

Although I peel the Honeycrisp apples for this recipe, you can use them skin-on if you wish. This cultivated apple is a relative newcomer to the market, having first been produced in Minnesota in 1991. I especially like them in this application because they remain sweet and crunchy.

Ingredients for the vinaigrette

The vinaigrette for this salad is straightforward, although you may have to search a bit for walnut oil. Make sure you whisk the ingredients well and add the vinaigrette little by little when dressing the salad.

Having a solid, never-fail salad recipe is essential, and I hope this is exactly that for you. Of course, this salad gets extra greenie points because it goes so well served next to virtually every main. Try this salad with our ROASTED LEG OF LAMB and our SWEET AND SPICY SALMON. with mainEnjoy!

Crispy, crunchy, tangy, spicy – this GREEN SALAD WITH APPLES offers deliciousness with every bite.
