This salad will taste better with a salad dressing, but I liked the idea of eating raw vegetables as broccoli, cauliflower....
It's very healthy to also eat raw vegetables.
The fruits and nuts were great addition.
********************************
The following salad is really yummy with yummy dressing.
WW members whom I gave this recipe, tell me they now make it all the time. Enjoy.
I write a lot, but it takes couple of minutes to make it. Less ingredients. Different salad.
Remember this song?

Notes!
1. I'm using Earthbound farm organic half and half: Half spring mix and half baby spinach.
It comes in a big plastic container - 1 lb. weight.
2. I do use the walnut oil because the flavor is better. If you change it to olive oil, you'll get milder results.
3. According to Cooking Light nutrition information, each serving is 2 PointsPlus. But because the apple (or pear) are 0 points, I think this salad is only 1 PointPlus per serving
4. I substitute sometimes a pear for the apple. Great taste!
5. I use any sweet apple I like
6. Make your salad your main meal by adding protein to your likening and a stachy vegetable
