Ingredients

  • Maple Dressing
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 TB white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • Salad
  • 1 bag mesclun (5 ounce)
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored cut into mathsticks, I didn't peel and chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted (I used glazed candied pecans)

Preparation

Step 1

1. For dressing: Whisk mayo, syrup & vinegar in medium bowl. Gradually whisk in oil till mixture thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt & pepper. (Dressing can be made 3 days ahead. Cover & chill. Rewhisk before using)

2. For Salad: Toss greens, apples, cherries & 1/4 cup walnuts in large bowl to combine. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Divide salad equally among plates. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup walnuts and serve.

Notes: This was stellar - it's the dressing that makes it.
