APPLE WALNUT SALAD WITH CRANBERRY VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the walnuts out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly toasted. In a food processor, combine the cranberries, vinegar, onion, sugar, and mustard. Puree until smooth; gradually add oil, and season with salt and pepper. In a salad bowl, toss together the greens, apples, and enough of the cranberry mixture to coat. Sprinkle with walnuts, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Apples: Use crisp and tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to provide a nice contrast to the sweet cranberries and walnuts.
- Fresh Cranberries: If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen ones. Just thaw them before using.
- Toast the Walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunchy texture to the salad.
- Make the Dressing in Advance: The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
- Serve Immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it's made. The apples and walnuts will start to soften if they sit for too long.

With its vibrant colors, delightful flavors, and crunchy textures, this Apple Cranberry Walnut Salad is a feast for the senses. It's the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and savory, and it's sure to be a hit at your next potluck or gathering.
