Apple, Pecan, and Blue Cheese Salad with Dried Cherries

This Apple, Pecan, Blue Cheese with Dried Cherries Salad is taken from a well known blogger, The Pioneer Woman. And, I simply love the combination of the ingredients.

So — let’s take a look at what we’ll need.

You’ll be making a dressing for the salad.

After prepping your ingredients, it’s just a matter of mixing everything together — pretty easy, eh?  So … here’s the recipe.

Ingredient

• 12 ounces Salad Greens
• 2 whole Apples, Cored And Sliced Thin
• 1/2 cup Pecan Halves
• 1/4 cup Dried Cherries
• 6 ounces of Blue Cheese Cut Into Small Chunks
• 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard or as much/little as your taste buds can handle
• 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
• 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1/4 cup Olive Oil
• Salt And Pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Combine the salad greens, apple slices, pecan halves, dried cherries, and blue cheese in a large bowl.
2.  In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, vinegar, olive oil, and the salt and pepper and mix it together.
3.  Serve the salad dressing on the side so everyone can add as much or as little as they like.

That’s it! Hope you enjoy it.  I served my salad with baked salmon and asparagus.  Yum!
