Quick and easy summer salad and we liked the simple yet delicious dressing. I only had red skinned apples on hand and substituted some baby arugula for part of the spinach leaves. I had a strong desire to add a fresh herb-basil or mint...? After cutting the apples and arranging on the greens I drizzled a little bit of the dressing on the apples to stop them from browning. Will make again! Reviewed for Veg Tag July.

Really delicious how I changed it and added honey to the dressing. I used an unrefined (raw) extra virgin olive oil, organic apple cider vinegar (with the mother in it, the healthy type) I used a regular mustard as Dijon has wine which we do not consume for religious/health reasons, sea salt, mixed baby spinach and baby arugula (mostly spinach) I think I used a pink lady apple, which I peeled because it was not organic. I just warmed the walnuts to make this more of a raw food salad. Yummy enough that I would like to make it again. Made for Veggie Swap 24 ~ July 2010.
