Ingredients
For the vinaigrette:
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ⅔ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the salad:
- 10 ounces spring mix salad greens
- 1 apple thinly sliced, Honey Crisp variety, large
- ¼ red onion thinly sliced (can be omitted, or 1 small shallot
- ½ cup pecan halves
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- 4 ounces blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
Make the vinaigrette:
- Measure and place all the ingredients in a jar. Shake well to combine and refrigerate for one hour to chill or up to a week. For a creamy dressing texture, place all the ingredients, except the olive oil, inside a blender. With the blender on and on low speed, slowly pour in the olive oil to emulsify it. Pour it into a jar and refrigerate.
Assemble the salad:
- In a large bowl or serving dish, make a base for the salad with the spring mix greens. For better texture, fluff them as you remove them from the clamshell.
- Distribute the thinly sliced apples and the red onion (if using) or shallot over the top. Sprinkle the pecans, dried cranberries, and blue cheese crumbles. This salad can be assembled 24 hours in advance and kept refrigerated and covered with plastic wrap. Sliced the apples right before serving to prevent them from browning.
Serve:
- Drizzle ½ cup of the salad dressing over the salad right before serving.
