How To Make Apple Walnut Salad

This delicious apple and walnut salad is so easy. The combination of healthy greens, apple, and crunchy walnuts go so well together.

Start by choosing your greens. I used a spring mix but, you could use kale or any other greens you prefer. Next, chop the apple and walnuts and sprinkle evenly over the greens.

      Thank you, Liz! I really do view it as a calling and I appreciate you affirming that. It can be discouraging at times. But, I think that’s the reality of a “calling” – We are never promised it will be easy. But, responses like this let me know I’m moving in the right direction. Blessing to you.

    Love this simple sauce. Hubby and I are 3 years into WFPB and oil-free. One of the hardest things is finding sauces for veggies, both raw and steamed/cooked. Your cashew mayo is wonderful for salads and coleslaw and the peanut sauce is great on everything!
