Apple-Brie Spinach Salad image

In the summer, especially now we live in Florida, I don't like the prepare or eat heavy meals. This is really pleasant to have, flavorful and filling. Hope you enjoy it. You can use whatever kind of apples you like--my favorite are Granny Smiths. You an also add a grilled chicken breast to this.
