Notes

  •  

  • Ingredient substitutions:

    instead of an apple, you can add an orange or a pear instead of walnuts, you can add pecans use melting goat cheese with rind, not soft, spreadable goat cheese use an apple that is a little sour (my preference) or a green apple, rather than a sweet apple variety

  • How to make it ahead: You can prepare all the ingredients and store them separately (wash and spin dry the salad - store it in a tightly closed container, make the sauce, toast the nuts, and make the cheese toasts). Peel and chop the apples and combine all the ingredients just before serving!
