Ingredients
Method
Whisking the Vinaigrette
- In a small glass measuring pitcher or mason jar, combine extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until completely emulsified and glossy.
Assembling the Salad Bowl
- In a large salad bowl, arrange the fresh baby spinach. Top with thinly sliced Honeycrisp apple matchsticks, crumbled aged cheddar, candied pecans, and dried cranberries.
Tossing & Serving Fresh
- Drizzle half the maple Dijon vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently with salad servers to coat every leaf without bruising the greens. Pass remaining dressing at the table alongside warm crusty sourdough.
