Apples With Greens And Walnuts Recipe
Ingredients:
5-7 cups of salad greens like romaine lettuce and red leafy lettuce
1 large apple (any variety will do), cored and chopped into bite-size pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup of raw walnuts
2 to 4 tablespoons of your favorite salad dressing - extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and sea salt works well with this recipe
Directions:
Combine greens, apples, and walnuts in a large bowl and toss with salad dressing.
If possible, it is best to soak your walnuts in water for a few hours before drying and adding them to this salad. For most people, soaking raw nuts can make them easier to fully digest.
If you feel that you need more calories to make this salad a full meal, add avocado slices and chopped pear. Crunchy Asian pears add a particularly nice texture to this recipe.
