Notes
- Oil: You can use extra light olive oil or any other type of olive oil that you like.
- Vinegar: This dressing does have a bit of a vinegar-y bite to it. Feel free to start with less vinegar and add in more to taste.
- Sugar: The dressing isn't very sweet. If you like a sweeter dressing, feel free to add additional sugar to taste.
- Chicken: Poached or grilled chicken work well in this recipe. This salad is a great way to turn leftover chicken into a new meal.
- Apple: A good eating apple, like a Honeycrisp or Granny Smith, works well in this salad. There's no need to peel the apple unless you prefer it peeled.
- Salad: A salad green mix with baby lettuce, arugula, and frisee works well.
- Walnuts: Plain (unglazed) walnuts can also be used.
- Gorgonzola: Blue cheese isn't in the CPK salad, but it makes a good substitute for the gorgonzola.
