Ingredients
For the dressing
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the salad
- 5 cups mixed greens
- 1 Braeburn or Gala apple* thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup walnuts lightly toasted
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese curls (made by drawing a vegetable peeler across the surface of a chunk of cheese)
Instructions
- Combine the mustard, water, honey, vinegar, and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the greens, apple slices, and walnuts. Toss with the dressing. Add the Parmesan curls and gently toss to combine.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- The best apples for salad are the kind that you love to eat right out of hand, but with the added benefit of not browning quickly and being able to hold its shape for a little bit. You want something with a combination of sweet and tart, crunchy and juicy. So, what does that leave you with? Braeburn and Gala, like Knox suggests, but you’ll find Ambrosia, Cortland, and Honeycrisp are also terrific choices.
