With tart apples, nutty Manchego and cider vinaigrette, this is the perfect Fall salad

Ingredients

  • mixed greens for 4 people (or 5 oz. baby arugula)
  • 1 crisp apple, such as Fuji or Honeycrisp
  • 3½ oz. Manchego cheese, thinly slice
  • ½ c. sliced almonds, lightly toasted

Cider Vinaigrette:

  • 6 Tbls. canola oil
  • 2 t.s maple syrup
  • 1 t. Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbls. finely chopped shallot
  • ¼ t. salt
  • ¼ t. freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Make the vinaigrette by whisking all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Place the mixed greens or arugula in a serving bowl.

Whisk the vinaigrette again until well combined, then add to the salad, little by little, until the greens are well dressed (you may have a little left over).

Right before serving, cut the apple into thin slices and toss into the salad along with the Manchego and almonds.

Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve immediately.
