Green Salad Tips

Spring greens wilt quickly once they’ve been tossed with dressing.

If you are preparing this salad in advance, keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to serve. For best results, chop the apple just before tossing everything together, since apples brown when they are exposed to air.
