To assemble your salad

- Pour as much of the dressing as you would like over your salad and toss well to evenly coat all of your ingredients.
- Enjoy!
Notes
You can use any type of lettuce you would like for this salad, and any variety of apple. We love it with mixed greens and Granny Smith apples, but other choices would be delicious too.
This salad will serve 1 or 2 people, depending upon how it is served (as a side, or as a meal). If you would like to, you can easily double, triple, or quadruple this recipe.
