Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups mixed greens
  • 1 Honeycrisp apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup walnuts, toasted
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese (optional)
  • For the Vinaigrette:
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced apples, and toasted walnuts.
  3. If using, add the crumbled cheese.
  4. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • To toast walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • For extra flavor, you can candy the walnuts before adding them to the salad.
  • Consider this salad as a lighter option, similar to what you might find with some meal planning services focused on fresh ingredients.
