Main Ingredients- 100g fresh lettuce
- 30g your favorite nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, etc.)
- 1/3 ripe apple
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the 1/3 apple thoroughly, peel it, and then slice it lengthwise into bite-sized pieces. Slicing them thinly will help them absorb the dressing better and enhance the flavor.
Step 2
Rinse the lettuce under running water to remove any dirt or debris. It’s important to thoroughly dry the lettuce using a salad spinner or paper towels. Excess water can dilute the salad’s flavor. Once dry, tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces by hand and arrange them attractively on a plate.
Step 3
Evenly scatter the sliced apple pieces over the lettuce. The apple’s refreshing tartness will add a wonderful dimension to the overall flavor of the salad.
Step 4
Sprinkle your prepared nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, etc.) over the salad. The nuts add a delightful crunch and savory note, making the salad more satisfying. For an extra nutty aroma, you can lightly toast the nuts before adding them.
Step 5
Drizzle about 1 Tablespoon of good quality extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad. Olive oil helps to meld the flavors together smoothly and adds healthy fats.
Step 6
Finally, drizzle 2 Tablespoons of sweet and rich balsamic glaze over the salad in a zigzag pattern. Your delicious Apple Nut Lettuce Salad is now ready to be enjoyed immediately!
