Apple Spinach Salad and Apologies

I owe you all an apology. Its been over 10 days since my last post, and I'm still not done with the truckload of homework that has been up-ended on top of me. My head is out of the rubble now, but its going to be a little while before my hands are free so I can write about the really awesome soup recipe that I came up with this week (but don't worry, its worth waiting for!).

So I'm very sorry but I don't have a recipe today-instead I have a couple pictures of my lunch from Sunday. And a list for apple spinach salad. I wont call it a recipe because it is really just a vague idea that I ate the other day. Enjoy!

1 crisp tart delicious apple (from my beloved farmers market)

2 generous handfuls of organic spinach (farmers market again!)

About 1/2 cup diced organic celery (trucked in from a mono-crop operation in California)

1 tbsp raisins

1 tbsp dried cranberries

1 tbsp sunflower seeds (toasted for flavour!)

Some lemon or orange zest if you are feeling in a zesty mood.

Mix together. Douse with lemon juice, honey, salt and a spritz of olive oil, perhaps a touch of minced rosemary. Or try it with my Dijon-olive oil dressing. Yum!
