Ingredients
  

Salad

  • 6-8 cups organic spring greens, triple washed
  • 1 sweet apple, cut in 1/2 inch pieces I use a honey crisp apple
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup red onion, sliced thin
  • shaved parmesan cheese, to taste

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a mason jar add all the dressing ingredients. Secure a fitted lid and shake until combined. If using a bowl, whisk until creamy and slightly thickened. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
  • Prepare apples and toss with lemon juice. In a large salad bowl add greens, then layer with apples, nuts, raisins, onion, and parmesan cheese. Add dressing and toss gently or serve dressing on the side.

Notes

Tips:
Store bought short-cuts:
  • Organic Spring Greens that are triple washed. This saves me a lot of prep work.
  • Roasted Nuts are readily available at most grocery stores. This saves me a dirty pan and the roasting time. 
  • Parmesan Cheese is another way to save time and money. Most grocery stores have packaged shaved parmesan which is just fine in this recipe.
Substitutions:
  • Fruit- Swap out the apple with pears, grapes, or pomegranate. Or add a combination of fruits.
  • Nuts- Roasted pecans, almonds, and walnuts work well in this salad.
  • Cheese- Use crumbled goat cheese, feta, gorgonzola, or sharp white cheddar.
