Fresh Apple and Parsley Dressing with Greens
Published: May 1, 2005
Dressing makes 1 1/2 cups
If using a tart apple, add up to 1 tablespoon brown sugar. The dressing is nice on spicy greens like arugula and watercress, with garnishes such as shaved Parmesan, toasted nuts, and thin slices of apple or fennel. Use about 2 tablespoons of this dressing per quart of greens, serving two.
