Salad Preparation

Prepare the Salad Base

In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced apple. Toss gently to mix.

Poached Quince

Poach the Quince

Peel, core, and slice the quince into quarters. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, cinnamon stick, and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer and add the quince. Poach for 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and cool in the liquid.

Spiced Walnuts

Make Spiced Walnuts

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix walnuts with olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let cool.

Smoked Gouda Croutons

Prepare Croutons

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush baguette slices with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and salt. Top with shredded smoked gouda. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.

Tomato Apple Vinaigrette

Make the Vinaigrette

In a blender, combine diced tomato, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly
