Ingredients
Salad
- 1 small head romaine lettuce chopped
- 6 ounces spring mix
- 2 ounces arugala
- 2 crisp apples thinly sliced (envy, honeycrisp, or fuji are our favorites)
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 6 lices Bacon cooked until crispy and chopped
- 1/2 small red onion sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 1 avocado sliced thin
Candied Walnuts
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Add the walnuts, butter, sugar, and cinnamon to a nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar and butter are melted and coating the nuts, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and separate to cool. Serve whole or chopped.
- Make the poppy seed dressing by whisking everything together in a medium bowl.
- Toss the chopped romaine, spring mix, and arugula together in a large bowl. Arrange with toppings, then serve with the dressing. Or toss everything together with the dressing and serve immediately.
