    How to Make this Apple and Orange Salad:

    This apple and orange salad is super easy to make. To make this salad, simply:

    1. Prepare the salad dressing: To make the salad dressing recipe, just whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl (or shake them up in a mason jar) until combined.
    2. Fruit Cutting: Next you need to peel an orange and cut it in small pieces. Then Core the apples and cut them in small pieces as well, equal to the orange pieces.
