Ingredients

3 medium apples, cored and diced

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons walnut oil (optional)

2 oz pecan

2 oz walnut halves and pieces

1 bag spring mix lettuce

1 teaspoon of lemon juice

Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

Heat butter, walnut oil and olive oil in a large, heavy skillet

Add the apples and nuts, sauté for several minutes until the apples begin to color.  Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. 

Place the salad greens on plates, then using a slotted spoon, place apples and nuts on the greens

Add the lemon juice in the skillet and mix with the leftover butter and oil to make a quick dressing.
