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

  1. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cranberries, and pecans. Toss them lightly to mix.
  2. 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.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients; you want each bite to be bursting with flavor.
  4. 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.
