Well, granny smith apple has been ranked to be the healthiest apple. It's high in fiber and contains a high amount of non-digestible compounds that prevent disorders such as obesity (compared to other apples).
Granny smith apple also promotes the growth of a healthy microbiome in the gut. Which in turn promotes your health in general.

How to prepare this crunchy apple salad
There isn't much to be done to prepare this apple salad recipe!
You chop, dice and you mix your veggies and fruits to make yourself a delicious apple salad with celery & avocado.
You'll appreciate this apple salad when chilled, in this case, I'd advise you to store your whole veggies and fruits in the fridge, then prepare and serve the apple salad immediately.
This is because once you cut the apples and the avocados they start oxidizing very fast.
Apples and celery are high in vitamin C which is very sensitive to light. Therefore, the more you store this salad the less vitamin C you'll have at the end.
