Simple. Delicious. We added grilled chicken.
Delicious! I did add cranberries and used a mixed greens and spinach combo. I took it to a party and peeps raved over it. I made some more the next day and added chicken to have as a main dish. Wonderful light meal.
How do I save this to my recipe box? I cannot find a button or link to do that? thanks
This may be my new favorite salad; loved it! Definitely add gorgonzola crumbles, it adds the perfect touch. Will definitely make it again.
Fantastic! I also added some dried cranberries and the taste was amazing. Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe!
I also believe this needed cheese and it did, thanks to another person’s suggestion on here. I added Gorgonzola cheese and it definitely added that much needed flavor. I rated it 4 stars because I thought it was very good but not excellent. It’s the type of salad I didn’t initially like but have an acquired taste for.
Not as tasty as I would have liked. The dressing was really acidic. I think it may have tasted better w/some goat cheese or something else…
The best part about this recipe is the delicious and easy dressing. I always find my dressing to be missing something, but this one went so well with the apples, cheese and nuts. My husband and I really liked it. I’ll be using it again soon!
So fantastic! Made this with mixed greens and wedged the apple instead of matchsticks. Was a perfect complement to the Grilled Halibut with Lemon Basil Vinaigrette!!
I thought it was just OK. Maybe it would have been better with a spring mix instead of all spinach? But very good dressing and loved the apples and walnuts together.
