Wash arugula and spinach thoroughly under cold water, even if pre-washed.

If greens are wilted, submerge in ice water to revive them.

Dry the greens using a salad spinner.

Slice the green apple into thin slices or chunks, according to preference.

In a mason jar, combine about 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Squeeze in fresh lemon juice, aiming for a little less than half the amount of olive oil used.

Add a dash of salt and black pepper to the dressing.

Shake the mason jar until the dressing is emulsified.

In a large bowl, combine the washed arugula, spinach, and sliced apple.

Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well to ensure even coating.

Sprinkle about a quarter cup of pine nuts over the salad.

Using a peeler, shave parmesan cheese over the top of the salad.
