- Juice of 1/2 lemon to coat the apples
- 12 ounces salad greens (whatever you like or have on hand)

Every January we like to gather as a croux and plan for the year ahead. It serves as a holiday celebration and a strategy session. We look forward to it every year. Over the last few years, we’ve also begun incorporating a “word of the year” practice, where we each choose a word that we will focus on throughout the year.
