Here’s an easy to make, delicious Autumn Salad recipe:
Autumn Salad
This is surprisingly simple to make, and I love the sweet-tasting dressing. I've use toasted cashews instead of pecans for equally great results.
Yield: 8 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
Dressing:
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons shallots, minced
- 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
Salad:
- 1 bunch red leaf lettuce, chopped
- 1 bunch green leaf lettuce, chopped
- 2 red delicious apples- skin on
- 3/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 3/4 cup toasted, chopped pecans
Directions:
- Put dressing ingredients into shaker and refrigerate.
- Place lettuce on 8 salad plates. Cut apples into thin wedges and place on lettuce. Sprinkle pecans and blue cheese evenly over salad.
- Drizzle chilled dressing over salads.
Tips:
- If you prefer, you can toss the salad ingredients in a large bowl and then dish out individual salads. It "looks" prettier when you can fan out the apples on each salad.
