A Granny Smith apple is the perfect partner in this Spring greens salad, offering a tart pop of fresh crunch and delicious, lemon-tinged flavor.
Instructions
- Place ribbons of Granny Smith apple on a plate and drizzle with fresh lemon juice, to keep them from browning. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, gently toss mixed greens, fennel, celery, green onions, grapes, brussel sprouts, and parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients for dressing until thoroughly combined; season with pinch of kosher salt, to taste.
- At this stage, you can dress and toss greens (amount of dressing will lightly dress greens) or plate greens undressed and serve dressing alongside to drizzle atop.
- If serving dressing alongside, you may want to double recipe to account for pour variations.
- Once greens are plated, carefully coil and thread apple “ribbons” among leaves.
- Sprinkle each salad with chopped pistachios and serve immediately.
