Recipe // apple walnut salad

February 5, 2013

I love eating salads for lunch, or a light dinner!

This salad is my new favorite go-to salad!  And, the maple apple vinaigrette is amazing!

Apple Walnut, and Gorgonzola salad with Maple Apple Vinaigrette
Mixed Greens
Sliced Apples
Walnuts
Gorgonzola Cheese Crumbles
Mix together to your liking
Maple Apple Vinaigrette
1/2 cup apple cider vinaigrette
3 tablespoons apple juice concentrate
1 pinch of sea salt
4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons shallots, minced small
3/4 cup canola oil
Whisk together all of the ingredients but the oil. Or place them in a blender.  Blend or whisk as you drizzle in the oil at the end.
Enjoy!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and it really is one of my favorite holidays!

I love all the decorations, the food, the treats, the time spent with the ones you love, all of it!

I’m cooking up a few new Valentine’s posts to share with you, but in the meantime, I wanted to re-post a few of the best of Valentine’s Day from the Armelle blog!

Above is a little Be Mine valentine box I made out of a cereal box!
