Party apple salad

I don’t like boring salads (there, I finally said it) I think salads should be a nice flavorful start of a nice flavorful dinner. Neither should the flavor of a salad be overwhelmed by a dressing. Why a healthy salad have to be ruined by a fattening, greasy dressing? A nice flavorful salad doesn’t need to be dressed, natural is the best way to go, right?
Last Sunday night I had a couple of friends over for dinner and I made a variation of this apple salad. Everybody liked it so much that I decided to make it today again to post it here. Its preparation didn’t take me more than 10 minutes and the result was absolutely fantastic. The salad itself didn’t need any dressing, but we still added a little bit of Wish-Bone® Bountifuls™ dressings which were a very nice addition to all the flavors going on in the salad. I never measure any ingredients when I make salads. Just throw more of the ingredients you like and less of the ones you don’t or feel free to try new ones. Be creative with your salads, after all, that’s the stuff that will keep your body running smoothly for many years.
