Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sunflower seeds, pepita seeds, mixed nuts, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss lightly to mix.

2. Prepare the Fuji Apple

Core and chop the Fuji apple into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the salad mix and toss gently.

3. Brulee the Apple Slice

Using a kitchen torch, brulee the apple slice until it is caramelized and golden brown on both sides. Alternatively, you can broil it in the oven for a few minutes.

4. Make the Poppyseed Vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds, salt, and pepper to taste.

5. Assemble the Salad

Drizzle the poppyseed vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly. Top with the bruleed apple slice.

6. Serve

Serve the salad immediately and enjoy!
