Description

This is a recipe that you can incorporate into your diet 80% of the time!
This is a great time of year for some wonderful HEALTHY food! This salad combines all that is well and good in the fall (well, it doesn’t have pumpkin pie, but it has everything else).

This salad is lovely served with my Autumn Pork Tenderloin. It is also a wonderful dinner salad by itself or with some chicken added in.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Baby Spinach Leaves
  • 3 whole Medium Apples Of Your Choice, Cored And Cut Into 1 Inch Pieces
  • ¾ cups Walnut Halves
  • ¾ cups Reduced Fat Crumbled Feta Cheese
  • ¼ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¼ cups Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard
  • ¼ cups Craisins (optional As Garnish)

Preparation

1. Mix spinach, apple pieces, walnut halves, and feta cheese into a large serving bowl.

2. Whisk together oil, vinegar, syrup, and mustard.

3. Add dressing to salad mixture, toss to coat, and garnish with Craisins (if desired).

4. Serve immediately.

This review id just for the dressing- and it is very good. I like sweet and tangy dressings but was sick of my standby’s- mixed this up and it was great, a keeper!
