By zeenieme

Ingredients

• Maple Dressing:
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmans)
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 3 T Champagne vinegar or other white wine vinegar
• 2 tsp of sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• Salad:
• 1 - 5 oz bag mixed baby greens (about 10 cups)
• 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into matchstick-size strips
• 1/2 cup dried tart cherries
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Preparation

Step 1

For Dressing: Whisk mayonnaise, maple syrup, vinegar, sugar in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil until mixture thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewhisk before using)

For Salad: Toss green, apples, cherries and walnuts in large bowl (or garbage bag) to combine. Toss with enough dressing to coat.
