COPYCAT ZESTY APPLE CIDER VINAIGRETTE
I am a big fan of Chick-fil-A's® grilled market salad and their signature zesty apple cider vinaigrette! So, I developed a recipe to fill that craving. This dressing is simply amazing... the zing of the apple cider vinegar, hint of sweet pineapple and tangy lime juice, and warm heat of the freshly cracked black pepper is a sure winner!

WILD RICE AND ROASTED SQUASH SALAD WITH CIDER VINAIGRETTE
Toothsome wild rice, caramelized roasted veggies and crisp radicchio all shine in this generous salad, which can be served as a hearty side or satisfying lunch. Radicchio adds a pop of color and a punch of bitterness, but a peppery green like arugula would also make a great substitute. This salad is tossed with a generous batch of mustard-cider vinaigrette. If you decide to double the dressing or have any left over, it pairs beautifully with just about any grain or hearty green, and will keep refrigerated for up to three days.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the center of the oven.
- Prepare the rice: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the wild rice to the boiling water, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the rice until tender and most grains have split, 40 to 50 minutes. Drain the rice.
- While the rice cooks, roast the squash: On a baking sheet, toss the squash with the olive oil, paprika and a sprinkle of kosher salt and pepper. Spread the squash into an even layer, then transfer to the oven to roast, stirring a few times, until golden and tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: In a small saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil over high. Boil the cider until it has reduced to about 1/4 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully transfer the cider syrup to a jar with a lid (don't put the lid on yet) and let it cool slightly. Add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, shallot, mustard, salt and pepper. Screw the lid on tightly and shake vigorously to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the salad: Add the cooked rice, roasted squash, radicchio, cherries and parsley to a large bowl. Shake the vinaigrette to combine, then drizzle a few tablespoons over the salad and toss gently to combine. Add more vinaigrette to taste. (You may have a bit of extra vinaigrette; refrigerate it for up to 3 days and toss with other greens or grains.)
- Top the salad with the toasted walnuts and a sprinkle of flaky salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

- 1. Place all ingredients for dressing into a food processor. Process until smooth. Pour in to a bottle, or bowl and refrigerator.
- 2. Place walnuts and or pecans in a frypan set heat to high. Add a teaspoon of olive oil. Stir constantly until you smell the aroma of the nuts.

- 3. Heat oven to 425 degree's. Peel apples and pears. Core and remove seeds. Cut each piece of fruit into eight pieces. Then cut each piece in half width wise. You can leave them in wedges or you can cut them in half like I did. Toss fruit in olive oil. Place in a small baking dish Tightly next each other. Salt-and-pepper them. Toss while baking after 10 minutes. Bake Until sides are starting to caramelize and fruit is still a bit crisp. Do not cook until mushy. Remove from pan.
- 4. Rinse and spin your baby greens. Place equal portions on four plates or bowls. Portion out the celery fruit, nuts and Gorgonzola cheese evenly On top of greens. Dress with the cider vinaigrette.

TANGY CARROT-APPLE SALAD WITH CIDER VINAIGRETTE
Recipe from October 2010 Vegetarian Times. It says that the author, Matthew G. Kadey, RD, prefers sour to sweet and this recipe proves it. I did add a little extra Splenda, oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, but I leave that up to you! I did not serve mine over spinach, rather just in a small bowl as a meal starter. Lastly, I added some pepitas (pumpkin seeds without the shell), but again the addition of nuts is your choice.

- To make a creamy cider vinaigrette, whisk in a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise or sour cream.
- Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to your vinaigrette for a touch of sweetness.
- For a more savory vinaigrette, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a few grinds of black pepper.
- Cider vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on salads, vegetables, chicken, fish, and pork.
