Apple is a great ingredient to add to the salad bowl. I love the way it pairs with just about anything you have on hand. I like to use tart green apples, finely sliced sometimes with another fruit. This time around, with persimmons flooding the market, it seemed a good time to add these in with the apples. Since the salad is very simple, use quality ingredients for best taste.
