Green Salad with Apples and Maple-Walnut Dressing

By Judy1

This salad contains sweet, spicy, nutty, and salty notes. Walnut oil adds the depth; you can substitute extravirgin olive oil--albeit with milder results.

Ingredients

• 6 cups gourmet salad greens
• 1 cup (2-inch) julienne-cut Braeburn or Honeycrisp apple
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons walnut oil
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Combine salad greens and apple in a large bowl.

Combine vinegar and remaining ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle over salad; toss gently to coat.
