Harvest Apple Salad with Maple Vinaigrette
Since Honeycrisp apples are in season now, I created a healthy fall recipe for Harvest Apple Salad with Maple Vinaigrette.
A great vegetarian or Meatless Monday recipe too 🙂
Gotta love a simple, quick, no-cook meal, right?!
How to Make Harvest Apple Salad with Maple Vinaigrette
The maple vinaigrette is easy to make.
Simply add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pure maple syrup, and dijon mustard to a mason jar and shake.
The mustard will actually emulsify the dressing, making the oil and vinegar into one liquid that won’t separate.
The next step for this Harvest Apple Salad with Maple Vinaigrette…
Divide up the lettuce, goat cheese, cranberries, and candied walnuts onto plates or containers.
I used a baby spring mix of lettuce, but spinach would be a great and healthy choice as well.
Cut the apple right before serving to prevent browning and serve with the maple vinaigrette dressing.
If packing this salad as leftovers I would recommend packing an apple separately and cutting it right before eating it.
The combination of flavors in this salad will have you forgetting how healthy it is.
