Apple and Cheddar Salad with Maple Vinaigrette
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
Salad
  • 5 ounces baby lettuce greens
  • 2 small apples, thinly sliced
  • 3 ounces cheddar cheese, such as Clothbound Cheddar, cut into small cubes
  • 2 ounces chopped walnuts, toasted
Dressing
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ cup walnut oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
  1. Whisk maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl or measuring cup.
  2. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified (well blended).
  3. Mix lettuce, apple slices, cheese and walnuts in a bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat.
Notes
* If you don’t have walnut oil you can substitute extra-virgin olive oil.
* It’s likely you’ll have some extra dressing – it keeps for a few months in the refrigerator.
* Double or triple the recipe as needed.
