Apple Cider Salad combines crisp apples with a tangy apple cider vinaigrette, crunchy nuts, creamy cheese, and dried fruit, offering a refreshing and vibrant fall dish.

Ingredients

  1. 4 cups mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, or romaine)
    2 medium apples (such as Gala or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced
    1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese
    1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts
    1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins
    1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
    Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced apples, crumbled cheese, toasted nuts, dried cranberries, and red onion.

  1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Toss the salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  3. Serve: Serve immediately, or chill the salad for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Notes

  • If you prefer, you can add more vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, or roasted beets for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store any leftover salad dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based cheese or omit the cheese altogether.
  • Prepare the salad ingredients in advance, but wait to toss them with the dressing until just before serving to keep the greens fresh.
