Description
A delightful mix of crisp apples, tart cranberries, and creamy gorgonzola cheese, perfect for the fall season.
Ingredients
- Mixed greens (your choice: spinach, arugula, or a spring mix)
- Fresh cranberries (or dried if you prefer a sweeter touch)
- Pecans (lightly toasted for a crunchy texture)
- Gorgonzola cheese (for a creamy, tangy finish)
- Maple syrup (to sweeten the dressing)
- Dijon mustard (for a zesty kick)
- Extra virgin olive oil (for a rich base)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cranberries, and pecans. Toss them lightly to mix.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. When done, it should be creamy and beautifully blended.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients; you want each bite to be bursting with flavor.
- Top with gorgonzola cheese, adding a creamy finish to each serving, and serve immediately for the best taste!
Notes
Prep the salad ingredients in advance but store the dressing separately to keep the greens fresh.
