Mixed Greens with Apple, Blue Cheese and Walnuts

If you are looking for a super simple salad to compliment any fall dinner look no further!  I made this salad for dinner last week and I had all the ingredients already on hand!  That's the awesome thing about salad, you can throw anything you have in a bowl and it will be delicious.  Well, within reason. If you don't have mixed greens, use romaine!  If you don't have blue cheese, use feta!  If you don't have walnuts, use pecans!  You get the idea.  Enjoy!


Mixed Greens with Apple, Blue Cheese and Walnuts (Shelly Redmond)

5 oz. baby mixed greens
1 medium apple, diced
1 oz. crumbled blue cheese
1/4 c. walnuts, toasted
1 T. apple cider vinegar
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper

Place the mixed greens, apple, blue cheese and walnuts in a large bowl and set aside.  In a small container with a tight fitting lid combine the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.  Cover and shake to combine.  Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well.
