APPLE AND BLUE CHEESE SALAD
This is our favorite salad . . . sometimes we just make a meal out of it! Note: I've found that the romaine is best (very crisp) if it's soaked in ice water for approximately 30 minutes, then spin dry. I use my Recipe #175543 however a good quality bottled blue cheese dressing can be substituted

- Add greens, apple slices, pecan halves, dried cherries, and blue cheese chunks into a large salad bowl. In a small jar, mix Dijon, maple syrup, vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Use a variety of apples for different flavors and textures. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- Choose a blue cheese that is creamy and flavorful, such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort.
- If you don't have walnuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.
- For a sweeter salad, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- For a more savory salad, add a sprinkle of bacon or crumbled blue cheese.
- Serve the salad immediately after making it, as the apples will start to brown if they sit for too long.
