Perfect for all those fall ~vibes~, this Granny Smith apple salad is a great appetizer, side dish, or light lunch!
Recipe yields 6 to 8 servings!
Ingredients for Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
Ingredients for Salad:
- 6 cups mixed greens
- 2 granny smith apples (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 cup crumbled gorgonzola
- Freshly cracked black pepper (for serving)
Directions:
- To prepare the dressing, combine vinegar, oil, water, dijon, shallot, and honey in a blender, and blend until completely smooth. Set aside to let the flavors meld while you assemble the salad.
- Combine mixed greens, slice granny smith apple, cranberries, almonds, and gorgonzola, and toss well.
- Dress the salad about 15 minutes before you plan on serving it. You don’t want to add the dressing too far in advance, or the mixed greens could get too soggy. Toss everything well, and serve with cracked black pepper, if desired.
- You can make this salad and dressing up to 48 hours in advance, as long as you don’t pour the dressing over the salad until just before serving. Any leftover dressing can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I
think that you should publish more about this subject matter, it may not be
a taboo matter but generally folks don’t discuss these subjects.
To the next! All the best!!
Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought
I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though!
Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Cheers
I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your
blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to
say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Your style is so unique in comparison to other folks I have read stuff
from. I appreciate you for posting when you have the opportunity, Guess I’ll just bookmark this blog.
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit
more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is
fundamental and everything. However imagine if you added some
great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site
could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche.
Good blog!
Some truly interesting information, well written and broadly user pleasant.
