1 large tart green apple

1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

3–4 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

    Sounds Yummy! I make a similar salad like that but with baby arugula.

    • Hello Ashley,

      We can never have enough green salad ! I use some organic greens every single day to make sure I am getting chlorophyll in my diet!
