Spinach and Apple Salad
by Laura
Thursday is farm share day here. We typically make something quick and
easy for dinner on Thursdays to make up for the fact that the trip to
the farm means Elliot gets home later. This is usually pizza, and last
Thursday was no exception to the pizza rule. Since the farm also gave us
some miraculous November lettuce and a pound of carrots, I decided we
also needed some salad. And because we've still got some malingering
apples from last month's apple-picking trip (inspiring several other
recipes, including delish apple muffins that I will post later), I
wanted to make a fruity version of our typical side salad. The normal
balsamic vinaigrette didn't seem right, so I went online and found this
recipe on epicurious.com for spinach and
apple salad with crispy almonds. I didn't follow it to the letter,
but it served as the inspiration.
