A refreshing and tangy salad combining crisp apples, a creamy citrus dressing, and fresh greens.
Combine the yogurt, orange juice, black pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Whisk the dressing until smooth and taste to adjust seasoning.
Wash and tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure the lettuce is dry to avoid diluting the dressing.
Core and dice the apples into small cubes.
Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
In a salad bowl, combine the lettuce, apples, and almonds.
Toss gently to avoid bruising the apples.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid overdressing.
Serve the salad immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Garnish with additional toasted almonds for presentation.
