I really enjoy this recipe 😊 I have tried cutting the apples several different ways and I find that I like julienne style (long thin strips like matchsticks) the best. I also find that I prefer Granny Smith apples instead of the golden delicious, but both types still taste really good. Don’t be afraid to crumble some Feta cheese over the top of the salad once it has been tossed. Feta is a great pairing with spinach and apples. Please give this recipe a try and then leave me a comment and let me know how it turned out. Enjoy!!
