Beet Green and Apple Salad

Can you tell we have a surplus of beet greens in the garden right now?  We also have a lot of spinach, and the lettuce is starting to come along nicely.  This salad should be made right before sitting down to eat, that way the apples stay fresh and the dressing doesn't cause things to wilt.
