Ingredients
- 2 red apples thinly sliced on a mandolin
- 2 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 4-5 cups spinach salad mix
- ½ red onion thinly sliced on a mandolin
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup sugared pecans chopped
- 4 Tablespoon goat cheese chopped or crumbled
Salad Dressing
- 2 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1.5 Tablespoon white sugar
- 1.5 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 Tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the apple slices in a large salad bowl and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the apple slices and toss, ensuring all apple slices get covered in the lemon juice.
- In a large salad bowl, add spinach salad mix, red apples, red onion, dried cranberries, sugared pecans, and goat cheese. Toss to combine. Set aside.
- In a small mason jar, add apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, white sugar, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Cover and shake vigorously, for about 20-30 seconds, until salad dressing has thickened.
- When ready to serve, lightly pour dressing over salad greens and toss. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- It’s best to wait until right before serving to pour the dressing on.
- Feel free to double or triple the dressing and keep it on the side. This stuff is pretty good on all kinds of greens.
