"Olive oil and balsamic vinegar is a classic Italian topping on a whole bunch of things, salad included. The tangy balsamic pairs really well with sweet apples and salty feta cheese, and nuts add protein to this salad. PROTIP: The vinegar in this dressing will burn your greens, so only dress your salad right before you serve."
