Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apple-Pear Slaw

    Thinly slice the apple and pear. In a bowl, combine the sliced apple and pear, and toss with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, add the fresh spinach, brandied cranberries, candied walnuts, and the apple-pear slaw. Gently toss to combine.

  3. 3

    Add Goat Cheese

    Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the salad.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Balsamic Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the house-made balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving and toss gently.
