Tips:

  • Choose the right lettuce: For a crisp and refreshing salad, choose a sturdy variety of lettuce such as romaine, iceberg, or butterhead. Avoid wilted or bruised lettuce.
  • Use fresh, ripe apples: The flavor of your salad will be best if you use fresh, ripe apples. Look for apples that are free of blemishes and bruises.
  • Add some crunch: To add some extra crunch to your salad, consider adding some chopped walnuts, almonds, or pecans.
  • Make a simple dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing is a great way to dress this salad. Simply whisk together some olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
