By bakers_delight85

Ingredients

• 6 cups Mesclun or mixed salad greens
• 1 large apple, quartered and cored
• 1 goat cheese log, cut into 8 slices
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thickly sliced
• 4 ounces assorted mushrooms, such as oyster, shiitake and porcini, thickly sliced
• 1/2 cup sliced green onions
• 1/4 cup liquid honey
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Divide salad greens among four plates. Cut apple quarters into 8 thin slices; arrange in a circle in middle of each plate. Place 2 slices goat cheese in center of each circle. (Can be done shortly before serving, covered and refrigerated.)
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook mushrooms, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.
Add green onions, honey, vinegar, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, for 15 seconds or until hot. Remove from heat. Spoon warm mushroom mixture over salad greens. Sprinkle with walnuts. Serve immediately.
