Sometimes you need a simple salad. One that goes with dinner, but doesn’t feel like the same old salad. Sometimes one that looks impressive, but doesn’t take time. Sometimes you need a salad that just does the job. This is a nice and easy way to make a salad that tastes nice and a bit special, but doesn’t require too much extra effort. The dressing is also a great staple of mine, and works really well with apples. I hope you like it, you try it, and you share it!
Apple and Almond Green Salad (Serves 4-6 as a side, 2-3 as a meal)

Salad dressing
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Wash and mix up your leaves
Roughly chop almonds and add to leaves
