Super quick, super easy… this delightful salad takes mere minutes to throw together and is a great way to use up diced Chorizo. Adding apples offer a lovely sweetness and crunch! Chopped parsley will add a fresh element, but it is entirely optional!

Chef’s Tips:

• Squeezing a little lemon juice over the sliced apples will prevent them from browning while you prep the remaining ingredients.
• The acidity from the lemon makes up part of the ‘dressing,’ so it shouldn’t be omitted.
