APPLE NUT TOSSED SALAD

Note: All ingredients are approximate amounts.

Place in a bowl and mix together:

    4 Cups favorite lettuce mix (spring greens, romaine, green leaf,red leaf, etc.)

    1 red apple cut up (include skins)

 Options:

    1/4 cup chopped nuts – large pieces (walnuts, pecans,pistachio, pine*, peanuts)

    1/2 Tbsp. fresh thyme

    Blueberries
    Chopped green pepper
    Chopped avacado
    Shredded carrots 
    Green onions or chives

These ingredients can be mixed in or use to create a border around the side of the bowl.

Sprinkle on top:

   1/2 – 3/4 cup Craisins

   1/2 cup shredded cheese or Athenos feta cheese.

Note: If salad is going to sit awhile before serving, dip apples in lemon water (about 1 tsp. to a cup of water) and drain to prevent browning. Add nuts and cheese at the last minute.

Serve with Larson Dressing (on this website) or Caspers* on the side.
