Be gone, afternoon slump, apple ginger salad
  • Serves 1
Author Notes

With the afterglow of our weekend group, this recipe evolved as a late lunch today. It is proving to be the antidote to an afternoon slump. The apple supplies the freshness, while the ginger adds a perky snap. —Ginger's Kitchen

  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Thanks, gingerroot. Although I made this back in Amherst, I thought it was inspired enough by our earlier weekend collaborative salad-palooza, that I listed it as Ginger's Kitchen!
