My thoughts:
I am non a huge greenish salad fan. I e'er honor them a flake boring, honestly. They genuinely bring to survive loaded upwards alongside a lot of strong, contrasting flavors together with textures to operate on my interest. This salad fits the nib on all accounts. Peppery arugula, slightly sweet, crunchy cornbread croutons, crisp Stayman-Winesap apples, creamy bluish cheese, crunchy celery, warm walnuts, together with earthy beets. It's a whole, genuinely satisfying, real autumnal salad. I intend I operate bonus points for picking the apples myself together with making my ain cornbread that I together with thence made into croutons.
