The ingredients

NHLBI’s Autumn Salad recipe combines one unpeeled Granny Smith apple with about five cups of mixed lettuce, half a cup of dried cranberries, a quarter cup each of chopped walnuts and unsalted sunflower seeds, and a third cup of low-fat raspberry vinaigrette. It also calls for two tablespoons of lemon juice.

The published method

The recipe directs cooks to moisten the thin apple slices with lemon juice, combine them with the lettuce, cranberries, walnuts and seeds, then toss with the dressing. Its stated yield is six one-cup servings, with ten minutes of preparation and no cooking time.

Those are the source’s figures, not results from a Gretna Junction kitchen test. Check the listed ingredients against your household’s needs before choosing the recipe.
