Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare the Greens

    Thoroughly wash the mixed greens under cold running water. Drain and dry them using a salad spinner or by patting them down with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Apples

    Core and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges. You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, add the prepared mixed greens and apple slices. Toss gently to combine.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the candied walnuts and blue cheese crumbles over the mixed greens and apples.

Dressing

  1. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad. Start with half a cup and add more to taste, if desired.

  2. 6

    Toss and Serve

    Gently toss the salad to coat the ingredients evenly with the dressing. Serve immediately.
