Apple cinnamon walnut salad

I recently needed to make a salad to take to a holiday dinner, and I stumbled across this Apple Walnut Salad recipe. I decided to adapt it for the arugula and red lettuce that was ready to harvest from my countertop garden. I also broke it down into components for maximum portability.

Salad:

  • 2-3 small bunches arugula
  • 1 head of lettuce
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • Cheese of your choice, for crumbling (I used apricot Stilton, cranberry goat cheese or feta work too)

Dressing:

  • 2 apples, cored and diced small
  • 1/4 of an onion, diced small
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1.5 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  1. Toast your chopped walnuts for 5 minutes at 350 F. Add to a bag or container.
  2. In a mason jar or other portable container, add the dressing ingredients. Shake to mix. I had to use two standard size jars to fit all of the apple pieces.
  3. Tear the greens into bite-size pieces and mix together in a bag or container. Pack the cheese separately.
  4. When you’re ready to serve: crumble the cheese. Pass around the greens, walnuts, cheese, and dressing. Or, mix it all together in one big serving bowl.
