Thanks, Mare - I have been shooting food for less than a year and label my photography style as "PSP" - "Point, shoot and pray" ;)
Thanks, everyone - such a simple salad. We enjoyed it last night with a cheese souffle and some crusty bread.
Perfect! Pink Lady apples are one of my favorite kinds of apples too! And i love the addition of ginger. Oh--and GREAT photo, Liz!
belated thanks and ps, your twitter tag isn't working - yet.
I think it might be now. Try it again and let me know if it works. I had to do something and apparently had to be on my main PC to do it. Just got home from Yosemite a couple hours ago and did it. I wish I understood computers more.....SOOO frustrating at times. Thanks so much for trying!!
Gorgeous picture! The salad sounds so healthy and refreshing. Perfect!!
Nice salad! I love it when you just throw things together and it comes out good.
You are onto my secret in this recipe ;)
The Pink Lady is a new favorite on mine - crisp and sweet. Thanks!
Thanks, but your salsa is so lovely with its heat and colors!
Thanks,Liz, it was fun to use just what I had on hand in the kitchen...
Thanks, Elizabeth - the walnut oil goes nicely with apples, I think -
Love the addition of pomegranate. Never have used walnut oil. I bet I would love it. Always delish how you make things.
