Arugula Apple Salad

I am grateful for the return of greens at our local farmer's market.
Also grateful for fall apples.
This is a quick, simple, delicious recipe that combines the two.

Ingredients
Arugula
2 fresh apples (I used Winesap)
Salted sunflower seeds
1/2 Lemon
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions
  1. Rinse and spin the arugula in a salad spinner (so wish I had invented this essential kitchen tool).
  2. Wash and cut apples into bite size pieces.
  3. Squeeze juice of half lemon over greens and apples (hit as many apples as possible).
  4. Drizzle with olive oil.
  5. Scatter a smattering of sunflower seeds on top.
  6. Toss and enjoy.
