Hello! Wishing you an awesome day - today! This post is my weekly recipe swap - and this week is Alex's 4-H Food Show dish.
This recipe takes a classic green salad and with adds a healthy twist to it by adding apples, almonds and dried cranberries! Also features a fresh cranberry vinaigrette dressing - that adds a whole lotta taste to this salad!
