It’s apple season. And if you’ve gone apple picking, you’ve probably got a lot of apples on your counter. Besides baking with them, what should you do with all those apples? Make a salad. Here’s an easy recipe using 2 apples. I prefer Honeycrisp or Gala because they’re juicy. Some like it tart and go with Granny Smith. Your call.
