As the weather warms up this spring season, it becomes the time to renew your love for salads. This versatile dish allows you to skip cooking and simply enjoy hanging out at your apartments in Mountlake Terrace. To create the spring salad of your dreams, you will need to start with a bed of spring greens, and then add fruit and nuts for a boost of flavor. Here’s how to make it happen.

Generous Portion of Apples

Give your bed of spring greens a touch of sweet-and-sour flavor with some diced apples. Consider using a mix of three different apples with varying levels of sweetness. For a classic mix, try red, yellow and green apple varieties on your salad.

Dash of Craisins

After you load up on the apples, you can place a dash of craisins on your salad for flavor and texture. These dried cranberries also have a sweet-and-sour flavor profile. Beyond that, they are chewy and delicious with many different kinds of dressing. Try them with balsamic vinegar for a particularly delicious flavor experience.

Sprinkle of Candied Walnuts 

All the acidic elements can be a bit overpowering, so balance them out with a sprinkle of candied walnuts. These sweet nuts will give your salad the crunch it needs in a big way. You can chop them finely or leave them whole when you eat this salad at your Mountlake Terrace apartments.

A Few Grapes for Good Measure

Fresh grapes bring your spring salad flavors together by adding a burst of freshness. As you cut through the grapes, their lovely flavors cover the greens and blend with the dressing to amplify your salad. Cut the grapes in half before you add them to your salad to start this process right away.

As you toss together your favorite spring salad mixes, you can begin your enjoyment of this season in earnest. With each salad that you eat, reflect on whether it is time to upgrade your apartment.
