Notes:
I love playing with flavor combinations. Green apples (or pear) work great with walnuts, while sweeter apples work well with sunflower seeds. Go crazy and try strawberries with chia seeds.
Simple green salads are the easiest (and quite cost effective) way to add more plants and nutrients to your diet. They add of level of fancy to a dinner party, and are just as special added to a simple packed lunch.
Don't underestimate the delight of a simple salad!
