I absolutely LOVE the Grand Parisian salad at Costco, but always find myself adding ingredients. Here is my version of this great salad!

Provided by RedRacer

Categories     Apple

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 heads leaves lettuce (use different varieties if you want)
2 crisp red apples, chopped and cored
1 English cucumber, chopped
1/2 cup craisins
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup pecans
2/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh pepper

Steps:

  • Combine salad dressing ingredients, shake & let set for at least 2 hours at room temperature. (This is for If you can't find Girard's White Balsamic Vinaigrette in stores).
  • Put all salad ingredients together in large bowl.
  • Toss salad with dressing and chow down!
  • **Cooking time does not include dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that will hold their shape when tossed with the dressing. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Use fresh raisins: Fresh raisins will plump up and add a chewy texture to the salad. If you only have dried raisins, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before adding them to the salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.
  • Serve the salad with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream: This will add a delicious finishing touch to the salad.
