Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes

- 1 large carrot
- 1 cup pearl mozzarella balls
- 1 medium green apple
- 1 cup seedless grapes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
Wash and rinse all vegetables and fruits thoroughly under cold water.
In a large salad bowl, place the mixed salad greens as the base.
Cut the tomatoes into wedges, and add them to the bowl.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and add them to the salad.

Peel the carrot and shave it into strips using a vegetable peeler, adding the strips into the bowl.
Halve the grapes and add them to the bowl along with the pearl mozzarella balls.
Core the green apple, thinly slice it, and toss the slices with a bit of lemon juice (optional) to prevent browning before adding them to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
