Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I wanted to share with you one of my favorite salad recipes.  Both the salad recipe and the dressing recipe have only a few ingredients and are very easy!  Follow the directions below and enjoy!

Dressing:

3/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce

1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar

1 TBSP Dijon Mustard

1/3 Cup Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

Process all ingredients except oil in blender or food processor until smooth

With motor running, add oil in a thin steady stream

Dressing may be kept in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to one week

Whisk before using

Salad:

8 cups of desired torn lettuce and/or spinach

1/2 Cup toasted, chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, pistachios, almonds,pine nuts)

3 oz crumbled blue cheese

2 sliced golden delicious apples

Toss together all ingredients and 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette

Salad to serve 6-8

If you want a more summery salad, you can substitute strawberries for the apples or even berries!  And you can serve as the main dish, or you can serve as an appetizer.

Hope you and enjoy and stay hungry…
