2. Cut the Cheese:
   Next, take the fresh primosale cheese and cut it into bite-sized cubes. This cheese will provide a delightful creamy contrast to the crispness of the apples and the nutty flavor of the almonds.

3. Prepare the Apples:
   Wash the Red Delicious apples thoroughly under water. After cleaning, slice them in half and remove the core. Then, cut each half into thin slices, keeping the skin intact for added texture and flavor.

4. Assemble the Salad:
   In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach and the slices of apple. Add a pinch of fine salt and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Toss the mixture gently to coat the ingredients evenly, ensuring every leaf is seasoned to perfection.

5. Add the Cheese and Nuts:
   Once the spinach and apples are well-mixed, add the cubed primosale cheese to the bowl. Follow by sprinkling in the blanched almonds for a delightful crunch.

6. Sweeten with Honey:
   To finish, drizzle a small amount of wildflower honey over the salad. This adds a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the earthy spinach and the rich cheese.

7. Serve and Enjoy:
   Gently toss all the ingredients together one last time to ensure the honey and olive oil are evenly distributed. Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, light, and flavorful salad.

This Apple and Baby Spinach Salad is a perfect balance of crisp, sweet, and savory flavors, with the added crunch of almonds and a touch of honey to bring it all together. Enjoy it as a refreshing side dish or a light lunch!
