Notas
- The spinach and oil/vinegar mixture can be prepared ahead and stored separately in the refrigerator.
- To keep the apple from getting brown, cut the apple and add to the oil/vinegar mixture then assemble the salad just before serving. The vinegar in the dressing keeps the apple from browning.
