Spinach Salad with Apple Vinaigrette
by Kelly on November 6, 2009 in Green Salads, Salads
Recipe Description
This is a salad I copied from Hill Top Cafe in Fredericksburg, TX: Spinach, Roquefort cheese, purple onion and candied walnuts with an apple vinaigrette. Prep time includes making the candied walnuts and the vinaigrette.
Preparation Instructions
To candy walnuts: Pour sugar into heavy-bottom sauce pan. Allow to melt until it is a light amber color. Pour in walnuts, stir to coat. Immediately transfer walnuts onto wax paper and use two forks to separate pieces. Allow to cool.
To make vinaigrette: Mix all ingredients (apple sauce, olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, parsley, basil) in a bowl. Set aside.
To plate: Put 1/4 cup of spinach on plate. Sprinkle on cheese, sliced onion, candied walnuts, and drizzle with vinaigrette.
It’s a salad so all measurements are approximate with exception of vinaigrette.
Ingredients
- For Candied Walnuts:
- 1 cup Walnuts, Halves Or Pieces
- ½ cups Sugar
- FOR SALAD DRESSING:
- ¼ cups Apple Sauce
- ¼ cups Olive Oil

- 2 cups Fresh Spinach
- ½ whole Purple Onion, Sliced Very Thin
- ½ cups Or More To Taste, Roquefort Or Blue Cheese, Crumbled

Strawberry and Goat Cheese Salad
by The Not So Desperate Chef Wife and filed in Green Salads, Salads
Okay, this is one of my favorite salads! This salad is super healthy and combining the strawberries, lemon juice, and goat cheese creates its own dressing. Actually, for most salads I use a fresh squeeze of lemon juice instead of dressing because it really cuts down on the calories. And it didn’t hurt that the strawberries were from the farmers market!
