Butter Lettuce & Envy Apple Salad recipe with vinaigrette

Hi everyone..I am back with yet another exciting post for all of you. Today I’ll be sharing a Butter Lettuce & Envy Apple Salad recipe with vinaigrette. Salads can be creative, easy to prepare, healthy and make a perfect fulfilling meal. I love experimenting with my salad recipes every now and then.   I try to give salads the importance they deserve and I hope my salad recipes can inspire all of you to try them.

This weekend I prepared a mouthwatering salad with an unexpected blend of both the worlds of fruits and veggies along with a vinaigrette dressing to toss some zing.

The recipe is colorful, has some great textures, and is perfect for any time of year. I used my favorite Envy Apples in this recipe which make this recipe super delicious.   The recipe has got a good amount of ingredients, but I promise it’s easy to prepare.

Moving over to the recipe:
