Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 small apples, thinly sliced
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 1 cup micro greens
  • 2-3 stalks of celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup thinly sliced fennel
  • 2 tablespoons fennel fronds
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts

For the dressing

  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped tarragon
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Fill a large mixing bowl with cold water. Add the tablespoon of lemon juice and the apple slices. This will keep the apples from browning.
  2. Spread the baby spinach and micro greens out on a large platter, scatter the sliced celery, fennel, fennel fronds, and walnuts over the top of the greens.
  3. Remove the apples from the lemon water and dry in a salad spinner or with paper towels. Tuck the apple slices in between the spinach leaves and across the top of the salad.

For the dressing

  1. In a mason jar combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, tarragon, lemon juice, and sugar. Seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously until the mixture is emulsified. Serve immediately.
