Cinnamon Apple Spinach Salad

Wheatgrass is one of the best natural sources of
living chlorophyll and has several health benefits. 

Last night Shayne and I had our friends, Brandon and Carrington, over dinner and we served this Cinnamon Apple Spinach Salad as a compliment to our main entree (homemade spaghetti). It was bursting with flavor and is full beautiful, nutrient-rich ingredients. Not to mention, it was incredibly quick and easy to prepare! A true win, win! :)

Ingredients:

• 1 (6 oz) bag of mixed greens 
• 1/4 cup of wheat grass, optional 
• 1 red {Gala} apple, peel okay 
• 1 lemon 
• 3/4 cup of dried cranberries
• 1/2 small onion
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

Directions:
Dice the red apple and the onion (I cut the onion in slices so my husband can pick them out). Put in large salad bowl. Add in cranberries, honey, chili powder and cinnamon. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over mixture and let stand for 15 minutes to marinate. Chop the wheatgrass into 2" pieces and add to mixture. Add in mixed greens. Top with additional fresh squeezed lemon juice as needed. Toss & Enjoy!
