Author Notes
I love this refreshing salad . I always use an apple in this salad but change the fruit to what is seasonal. I love changing the dressing with exciting new flavors.I buy these specialty Extra Virgin Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars at The Tasteful Olive in Overland Park, Kansas —NanciH
