Description

With apples, sweet walnuts, blue cheese, and a tangy dressing, I want to eat this every day!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 3 Tablespoons Pomegranate Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey, Or More To Taste
  • Salt And Freshly Ground Pepper
  • ⅔ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 4 whole Apples Such As Granny Smith, Gala, Fuji, Or My Favorite Honeycrisp (or A Combination Of Any), Cored And Cut Into 1/2-inch Dice
  • 10 cups Mixed Baby Greens
  • 1-½ cup Sugar Glazed Walnuts, Broken Into Pieces
  • ½ pounds Blue Cheese, Crumbled (2 Cups)
  • Salt And Freshly Ground Pepper

Preparation

For the dressing: Whisk together the pomegranate juice, vinegar, mustard and honey in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. (The dressing can be made 2 days in advance and stored in a container with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator.)

Combine the apples, baby greens, walnuts and blue cheese in a large bowl. Add 1 cup of the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

I just wanted to let you know that I have made this salad several times, & it is always a big hit. I posted about it on my blog today, here: http://cas-anoasisinthedesert.blogspot.com/2012/05/small-birthday-celebration.html. Thanks again for sharing!
